Senior Recruitment Consultant
Hi I'm Taylor, I work closely with Early Years professionals to help them find roles that truly fit their lifestyle, goals and confidence level, not just what looks good on paper. I’m known for being approachable, supportive and honest, and for making the job search feel clear, calm and even enjoyable.
I take the time to really listen. Whether you’re returning to work after time away, feeling nervous about interviews, or searching for a role that works around your life, I’ll guide you at your pace. I’m clear about roles, realistic about expectations, and I’ll never push you into something that doesn’t feel right.
Candidates choose to work with me because I stay in touch, explain every step, and genuinely care about helping them succeed. From your first chat to securing the right role, you can expect consistent support, clear communication and someone fully invested in finding you a position you’ll feel confident and happy in.
I’m the calm voice in your job search telling you, “You’ve got this,” and also, “No, you’re not accepting that shift pattern.”
Outside of work, I enjoy football and going to the gym.
If you’re looking for your next Early Years role, apply now or search for the right one and I’ll support you all the way through.
