About Us

We Are Education recruitment experts

At Lotus Recruitment, we believe that every child—no matter their background—deserves the opportunity to access a transformative education and flourish.

Our name is inspired by the lotus flower, a symbol of beauty, resilience, and growth. The lotus blooms in the most unlikely places—rising from the muddiest waters to reveal something stunning and pure. We see education in the same way. No matter the challenges a child may face—be it social, economic, or emotional—access to the right educators can help them blossom into their fullest potential.

We’re here to connect schools with exceptional educators who don’t just fill roles—they shape futures. We’re passionate about placing teachers, teaching assistants, and support staff who understand the value of empathy, resilience, and belief in every learner.

With a strong presence across London’s diverse communities, we bring a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities in each borough. We serve with purpose—driven by the belief that education is the most powerful tool for change, and that every child deserves a chance to rise.

Our Reviews

Having worked with TJ for a couple of years now. I can never thank him enough for all the opportunities he has presented to me. Any time I needed a role/change he has been there to support and assist in every way possible. He presented me with a range of different roles in various different locations and thus allowing me to choose the role that suited me best. His honesty and willingness to help at all given times has and will always be appreciated. He’s helped me secure my TA and qualified maths teacher role in two different schools. I’m so happy and thriving in my role as a maths teacher and no doubt that I can not thank anyone other than the main man himself TJ. It has been a pleasure to work with you and I am forever grateful

I’ve been working with TJ now for a few months after a couple of mutual contacts put us in touch. His passion to better the education system and to challenge the way some people view education recruitment is infectious. It’s so refreshing to work with someone who’s so excited by what he does and genuinely believes he can make a difference. I certainly believe my working relationship with TJ is just at the beginning and I look forward to what we can achieve to support schools and teachers across the UK.

Jemma Baigent Director at Evolve Recruitment Ltd

TJ was a superb agent, second to none. He tirelessly found me a variety of roles and I was able to pick and choose for one that best suited me. On top of that he prepared me for my interview the day before for almost an hour over the phone and as a result I ended up getting the first interview he got for me. He is a great agent and can negotiate the best starting salary for you and your experience as he did for me.

Great service, very professional and always on call whatever the day. Very few people in this business provide this level of service. Would recommend him to anyone.

TJ completely changed my perceptions of education recruitment agencies. I became aware of Master Class Education through the Institute of Education and was contacted by TJ the next day enquiring about my requirements with regards to my first NQT role. I was impressed by TJ's devotion to finding me a role that I was happy with and offered assistance at every stage of the process (including helping me to make the decision!). I have, and will continue to, recommend TJ to my colleagues, as I have him to thank for securing my first NQT role at an excellent school that ticks all my boxes.

TJ has helped me secure an excellent NQT position for 2016. TJ is a very dedicated educational recruitment consultant. TJ was introduced to me through a referral, as TJ also had helped my friend secure a NQT position in the previous year. Since day one TJ made feel reassured that he will try his best to help me get the most suitable NQT position. Within a couple of weeks of my initial registration with Masterclass, TJ was able to secure two interviews with two "Ofsted Outstanding" schools for me. I accepted the offer from one of these Outstanding schools. During this job hunting period I have worked with some other very good recruitment agents. However, TJ was always the first one in line to help me in every step of the job search process. Ultimately it was because of TJ's dedicated effort I received an excellent offer from this Outstanding school. I would highly recommend TJ to anyone in educational job market. My best wishes to TJ.
