axcis education
Axcis is the leading supplier of special educational needs and disabilities
(SEND) staff in England and Wales. We recruit special educational needs and
disabilities (SEND) staff for mainstream schools and alternative provisions
across England and Wales and offer recruitment solutions for short-term,
long-term and permanent vacancies. Working with the broadest range of positions,
our candidates include teachers, teaching assistants, therapists and school
leaders. Established in 2001, our head office is in London’s West End. We have
since grown in-line with increasing demand from schools for the quality,
specialist service we are able to provide. We have offices across the UK and
continue to expand as more schools hear about us and express a desire to make
use of our unique service. Many of our experienced team of consultants are
ex-teachers or members of school support staff, so have on-the-ground knowledge
of the sector. As a result, we are able to provide a recruitment package which
reflects this in-depth understanding of what schools are looking for in the
staff they recruit. We have always taken our responsibility to the sector
seriously, and this is reflected in our professional partnerships with
organisations such nasen (the National Association of Special Educational
Needs). Axcis is not “just another agency” and we pride ourselves on offering a
unique service which is backed up by a serious commitment to the SEND sector.
During our time in partnership with these organisations, we have helped to fund
numerous training and support initiatives which have helped to spread awareness
and good practice. This goes a long way in demonstrating our commitment to the
sector and our desire to give something back. Our client relationships are of
paramount importance to us and we pride ourselves on working closely to build
long-term partnerships. This is reflected in the positive feedback we receive
from schools about our consultants and the service they provide, as well as
feedback on the candidates we place. Our compliance process is extremely
rigorous. Each applicant must undergo a full series of checks which conform to
DfE requirements. Files are then re-checked as part of our quality assurance
process before they are cleared to begin working in one of our client schools.
We also offer an enviable professional development package, which is open to all
Axcis candidates or client school staff. This includes a variety of courses over
the academic year, including Team Teach, Non-Verbal Communication, Safeguarding
in Education Level 2, Moving and Handling, Autism Awareness and Managing
Challenging Behaviour.
