Specialist staffing for
education and healthcare settings

Across SEN, therapy and specialist roles, focused on safe, suitable recruitment with an emphasis on continuity and the right fit.

Aligned to NHS Employment Check Standards, with an emphasis on safeguarding, suitability and consistency.

Who we support

We work with organisations delivering education, therapy and specialist support across a range of settings.

This includes:

  • Mainstream primary and secondary schools

  • SEN schools and specialist education settings

  • Alternative provision and education support services

  • Multi-academy trusts

  • NHS services and healthcare providers

  • Private therapy providers and multidisciplinary teams

We are particularly well placed to support settings where SEN, therapy and specialist provision sit across education and healthcare, and where getting the right fit matters.

Recruitment for hard-to-fill roles where finding the right fit matters.

Why organisations work with Maple Reach

We take a more considered approach to recruitment, particularly where roles sit across SEN, therapy and specialist provision.

Clients choose to work with us because:

  • We focus on suitability, not just availability
    Candidates are matched based on experience, setting fit and the nature of the support required

  • We understand SEN, therapy and specialist roles
    Including where requirements sit across education, healthcare and EHCP-related provision

  • We prioritise continuity and consistency
    Particularly for roles where relationships and stability matter

  • We keep communication clear and straightforward
    No unnecessary volume or pressure, just relevant updates and honest conversations

  • We take compliance and safeguarding seriously
    Ensuring appropriate checks and clear expectations before any placement is made

  • You work with one consistent point of contact
    So nothing gets lost between conversations

We are not focused on volume. We are focused on being useful, responsive and trusted.

Safeguarding, compliance and suitability

Safeguarding and compliance sit at the centre of how we work.

We follow appropriate safer recruitment practices and ensure all relevant checks are completed before candidates are introduced or placed.

For therapy and clinical roles, our processes align with NHS Employment Check Standards and wider industry requirements, including verification of professional registration, qualifications, employment history and references.

Our focus is not just whether someone is available, but whether they are appropriate for the role, the setting and the people they will be supporting.
