I had a fantastic experience working…

I had a fantastic experience working with Parker Smith Inclusion their team (aka Katie) was attentive and genuinely interested in helping me find the right job. They took the time to understand me and my skills and matched me with an opportunity which was an excellent fit. The communication during this process was brilliant because I felt supported. Thanks to PSI I was able to get a permanent role where I have been working as a TA one2one which met with my career objectives. I highly recommend PSI to anyone seeking a professional and efficient job search experience.

Great agency

They were the only agency I was looking to work with, that did very in depth checks and interviews and so, I really wanted to work with them. I saw that they care most about the children’s safety and well-being, which is also my priority.

Parker Smith

I highly recommend Parkers to anyone interested in working in the field of special education, especially those who are passionate about supporting children with behavioural needs or sen needs. The agency provides a robust support system for its staff. I would like to thank Caitlin Mcsherry‑Hows for helping me with the process as it was very quick and she was very helpful.

Outstanding service

Outstanding service. I couldn’t be happier with the results. The staff at Parker Smith Inclusion were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, from helping me to prepare for my interview with potential employers.

One thing I appreciated about PS Inclusion was their attention to detail. They took the time to get to know me and my skills, and they matched me with the right school that was looking for a teacher with my experience.
Overall, I would highly recommend PS inclusion to anyone looking for a job in education. They are professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about their clients.

Applied for job as SEN TA with parker…

Applied for job as SEN TA with parker smith inclusion, was told of dates to check 3 schools, I called at beginning of June, was then told by holly Lucas, phone a few weeks after half term, I called back, sent emails, if a job was really there, of course there would have been dates available to check the schools, it seems she is very lackadaisical.

Parker Smith supportive partnership

Parker Smith inclusion is the first agency I've personally worked with. Caitlin went above and beyond for me. She has been very responsive and instrumental in finding me suitable jobs, setting up interviews and providing me with the support needed on how to approach and feel prepared for the interviews. She lined up jobs for me very quickly, not just any jobs, jobs that clearly reflected my personal expierience, abilities and where best i could bring more of myself forward, taking into consideration everything we spoke about during my interview. Genuingly lovely, with a natural rapport with people and good at what she does. It was evident that caitlin had established very good relationships with the schools she was working with and was knowledgeable and the right person to be supporting this process. I think this is a healthy partnership and very reliable way of sourcing and supporting the right people.

Parker Smith Inclusion - Excellent Agency!

I'm very new to the working world and my first process of finding a working role couldn't have been more smoother thanks to parker smith inclusion. Each time I speak with staff on the phone, they are incredibly friendly and I feel a sense that the agency does work for my best interest and interests of the institution they matched me with. I am now slowly but surely excelling in the school I work with now and couldn't be happier. I really appreciate the agency's efforts! :)

Quality Recruitment Company

I am delighted with this company's expertise and their willingness to do their best. They are very professional in their approach and guide you along the recruitment process. They have good correspondence.

This company puts you forward for job roles you are qualified and suited for, which increases your possibility of getting the position you apply for. They are genuine and do not string you along. Within 3 weeks they assisted me in acquiring an EAL position in a school.

Emilie and Holly are amazing professionals, who are also informative, friendly and supportive. I recommend Parker Smith Inclusion.

PSInclusion is an amazing company

PSInclusion is an amazing company. They helped me so much in gaining my new role as an LSA. I was given an opportunity to get a job interview within a week and was offered a role. They were very supportive and informative. I was even encouraged during the day of my interview by a phone call to wish me well.

Teaching Assistant Position

I applied for a teaching assistant role at a school and I had the pleasure of having James as my recruiter. He was extremely organised and very helpful. If it wasn’t for James, I wouldn’t be in the position I am now.
