Richard Preece
Principal Recruitment Consultant
Teaching has always been a passion of mine. As a former primary school teacher, I know firsthand the rewards and challenges that come with working in education. My goal is to support teachers and teaching assistants in finding roles that truly suit their skills, aspirations, and lifestyle needs. Whether you're looking for the variety of supply teaching or the stability of a long-term placement, I'm here to help you navigate the opportunities available.
Before joining Flourish Education, I spent 10 years in the classroom, gaining a deep understanding of the demands of the profession. Now, as a recruitment consultant, I use that experience to connect the right educators with the right schools. My background in teaching means I can appreciate the priorities of both candidates and schools, ensuring the best possible matches for long-term success.
Outside of work, you'll often find me cycling or surfing, enjoying the great outdoors. When I'm not on my bike or in the water, I love spending time with my wife, our two sons, and our dog, Bailey.
If you’re a primary school in the Black Country with unfilled teaching or non-teaching vacancies, or if you’re a teacher looking for a supply role in the area, I’d love to help. Get in touch with me today and let’s find the perfect fit for you.
