Emma talks about her career at Flourish Education 

Flourish Education are now in our eighth year of trading. We are a family run business that initially started from a home study. We have gone from strength to strength and are now located in a large, modern, open plan office in the new development in Longbridge, Birmingham.

We supply teachers and teaching assistants into schools across the West Midlands, Staffordshire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire and Shropshire. Supplying teachers means having to carry out stringent checks on all staff and continue to keep them compliant.

I am a very motivated person and like to set myself goals that I can work towards.

Q3. What do you like about working at Flourish Education?

Flourish is a friendly and welcoming place and I enjoy the team work involved.

Q4. How can you help candidates find a job?

I can help candidates find a job by ensuring they get cleared for work as soon as possible.

Q5. What area and roles do you specialise in?

I am part of the Flourish Education Compliance team, which means I work on clearing candidates, ensuring they have all the correct documentation and safeguarding checks so we are happy to place them in our schools.

Q6. What advice do you have for candidates in their education career?

I advise them to push themselves as far as they can go and say yes to any opportunities that may arise.

Q7. What are your Interests and hobbies outside of work?

Outside of work I like to socialise and enjoy sports. I recently took part in the Tough Mudder challenge in Nottingham.
