Business and Finance Manager, Special Needs School in Surrey

Review one – At the start of the year, we had a real issue with a large number of Teaching Assistant vacancies (12 vacancies) and a high level of sickness absence. I was tasked with engaging in widening our search for new agencies and sourcing better quality candidates to work with our rather unique learners. I made contact with Parker Smith Inclusion in 2023 and was introduced to Heeji Moon, London Team Manager. Heeji was very knowledgeable about the current market and was confident she could assist in sourcing some suitable candidates. Heeji came to visit the school that very day to get a real flavour of the school, and she spent time in the classrooms, spoke to teachers and met some of our young people. She had a tour of the school and ascertained all local transport links, access to the school, security, parking facilities etc. With this information, Heeji not only managed to sell our school to potential candidates but also secured very suitable candidates. We have had every staff provided by Parker Smith Inclusion and some of which have shifted over to become permanent. The company’s vetting system is very clear, effective and seems quicker than other agents we have engaged with. I have found their rates very competitive; the company ethos is ethical and transparent, and they have been a pleasure to work with. Business and Finance Manager at Special Needs School in Surrey

Andrew, Teacher

Super positivity, and quick responses. After dealing with some less caring companies, where you receive little support and feedback, it was a refreshing change to deal with Parker Smith Inclusion. Caitlin was both extremely helpful and contagiously excited about finding the right position for me. Give them a ring, and see how a recruitment company should work.

Imara - Kai, Teacher

I worked with Parker Smith Inclusion to find a work placement. The staff are friendly and thorough, going above and beyond to support and assist. I worked directly with Elise. After passing the relevant information, she had my professional profile ready to be sent out in less than 24 hours and got my placement in less than a week. I’m ecstatic with the outcome and grateful to the team for their help.
