Grant Taylor

Managing Director

I’m passionate about education recruitment and helping people thrive—whether that’s supporting educators in finding roles where they can flourish or partnering with schools to ease the pressures of recruitment. I love knowing that I’ve helped a teacher or teaching assistant rediscover their passion for the profession. My goal is simple: to build long-lasting relationships that make a real difference in classrooms across the West Midlands.

I’ve been working in education recruitment for over 15 years and founded Flourish Education in 2010 because I believed local schools needed a local recruitment specialist who truly understands their unique culture and challenges. Since then, we’ve grown from a small home office to a well-respected agency supplying teachers, teaching assistants and non-teaching staff to schools and academies across the region. I take pride in being honest, approachable and genuinely committed to doing the right thing—for our candidates, clients and team.

Outside of work, I spend as much time as I can with my family. I value a good work-life balance—and it’s something I actively promote within the business too. Life’s about enjoying what you do and who you do it with, and I bring that philosophy into both my personal and professional world.

If you work in a school and you’re feeling stuck or undervalued, I’d love to have a chat. If you’re a school leader looking to reduce recruitment costs without sacrificing quality, we can help. And if you’re a recruiter who wants to be supported, trained and recognised—get in touch.
