​What inspired you to work in education recruitment?
I never originally set out to work in education recruitment. Since I was 15, I’ve always worked in people-focused roles centred around building relationships, helping others, and solving problems. My best friend inspired me to move into education - watching her complete her PGCE, gain QTS, and become a SEND teacher gave me a real insight into the sector and the impact educators have on children’s lives. I knew working directly in the classroom wasn’t for me - huge credit to those who do it every day - but I quickly realised I wanted to support the education sector in some way, and education recruitment felt like the perfect fit.

What’s your favourite part about working with educators and schools?
My favourite part of the role is definitely the relationships I build with both my clients and candidates, alongside the feedback I receive from schools. Although I don’t get to see my candidates in action myself, hearing about the positive impact they’re having on children’s lives and how much they’re supporting schools is what it’s all about for me.

If you could share one piece of advice with someone considering a career in education, what would it be?

Never underestimate the impact you can have, even outside of the classroom. Education isn’t just about teachers - there are so many people behind the scenes helping schools and nurseries run successfully. Whether you’re supporting educators, helping solve staffing challenges, or connecting the right people with the right opportunities, your work still plays an important part in shaping positive environments for children to learn and grow.

Short Biography
