We’re Expanding with a Dedicated SEN Recruitment Desk!

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new SEN (Special Educational Needs) Desk. A dedicated division designed to support schools and educators working with children who have additional learning needs.

This exciting expansion marks another key milestone in our mission to provide specialist, localised recruitment support across the West Midlands. Our SEN Desk will focus on connecting schools with passionate, experienced staff who can make a meaningful impact in inclusive education settings.

Supporting Schools with SEN Recruitment Expertise

Since 2010, Flourish Education has been building strong, consultative relationships with schools, academies, and nurseries across the region. As the demand for skilled SEN professionals continues to rise, our new SEN Desk ensures that we’re even better positioned to meet the evolving needs of the education community.

From teaching assistants and learning mentors to SENDCo roles and specialist teachers, our dedicated SEN recruitment service will offer a personalised, responsive approach — supporting both schools and candidates to find the perfect fit.

Leading the new SEN Desk is Leonie, who brings passion, understanding, and a wealth of recruitment experience to this specialist area. Leonie has a genuine commitment to supporting SEN schools and mainstream settings with high-quality staff who can make a lasting difference in children’s lives.

Why This New SEN Desk Matters

Across the education sector, there is an increasing demand for skilled professionals who can support pupils with additional needs — from Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and ADHD to social, emotional, and mental health challenges.

By launching a dedicated SEN Desk, Flourish Education is ensuring that schools can access specialist recruitment support that truly understands the complexities of SEN provision. Our goal is to help schools build stronger, more inclusive teams while giving SEN professionals the opportunity to find rewarding, meaningful roles where they can make a real difference.

Grant Taylor, Managing Director of Flourish Education, said:

“The creation of our SEN Desk is a natural step in Flourish’s growth. We’ve always been passionate about supporting every aspect of education — and this dedicated division allows us to focus on one of the most vital and rewarding areas of the sector. With Leonie leading the way, we’re confident that schools and staff will receive the specialist support they deserve.”
