You will also be responsible for:

- Managing the growth and development of our SEND division - Identifying and targeting new clients

- Developing and building strong, long-term partnerships with clients and prospects

- Understand client and candidate requirements and source relevant candidates via multiple sources

‘Success is achieved as a collective’, ‘We deliver quality through great service’, ‘We always act with integrity and transparency’, ‘We act urgently and are always accountable, We pursue growth through learning’.

- Team assessment and continuous development – including identifying coaching / mentoring needs and monthly / quarterly / annual 1:1 meetings
