Joanne Street

Senior Branch Manager

I am the Senior Branch Manager for Flourish Education, as well as managing the Black Country Primary Team. With over 15 years of experience in recruitment, including the last eight at Flourish Education, my passion for supporting teachers and schools has always been at the heart of my work. I take great pride in building long-lasting partnerships with schools and trusts, ensuring that we provide the best staffing solutions to meet their needs.

Alongside my role at Flourish Education, I am also the Safeguarding Governor for a local primary school. In this role, I work closely with the school to ensure safeguarding policies are effective and that safer recruitment practices are in place. My experience in recruitment and governance gives me a well-rounded perspective on the challenges schools face when it comes to staffing and compliance.

When I’m not working, you can usually find me scaling mountains, hitting the gym, or indulging in my love for peanut butter and pizza! I believe in maintaining a balance between work and personal life, and I always encourage my team to do the same.

Although I no longer work directly with teaching staff and schools, if you are looking for a new role within an education establishment or need a recruitment partner for your school, please get in touch. I will be happy to connect you with the right consultant who specialises in your local area.

  • I can honestly say that Flourish Education has been one of the best agencies I've ever worked for. Not only do they care about their employees but keep you updated with everything that's going on with training etc. Joanne is a fabulous consultant so kind and humble and always does her best to consider you and her clients when she matches you to jobs. I am very lucky to have a consultant like her. She's very approachable and is very quick at responding back to you and any concerns you have.

  • Jo is absolutely wonderful! Always looking after me and is always a shoulder to cry on (when the going gets tough) and a listening ear when I have any worries... she is a credit to Flourish Education!

  • I have been a supply teacher with Flourish for some time now. Jo is a great consultant, she uses your skills and knowledge to find the right schools for you. She never expects you to work in year groups where you are less confident and experienced and she always contacts you to give feedback. A great agency to work with.

  • "I would heartily recommend Flourish for any and all your staffing needs. We have worked with them for over 7 years and they consistently supply us with first class professionals - teachers and TAs - more often than not, with little or no notice!

    We can always be confident of the quality and ability of their team which gives us real peace of mind. What really helps us in school, is that Jo and now Scott, always try to ensure that the staff they send are consistent, so we and the children are able to build strong relationships with them, they can learn our routines and become part of our school family. The support Jo in particular gave us over COVID-19 was outstanding! We could not have kept school open as much as we did without her."
