The team

Six people. One phone that rings.

The consultants you'll actually work with. Dial direct — no receptionist, no queue, no routing.

Dan, Managing Director Dan Managing Director

Founded Class in 1995. Still first on the phone at 8am. Somewhere between mentor, MD and mission-driver.

Shelly, Senior Consultant Shelly Senior Consultant

20 years placing Bristol's best practitioners. Knows every nursery in the West by their kettle brand.

Bill, Recruitment Consultant Bill Recruitment Consultant

Ex-practitioner himself. Speaks candidate — he knows what you're walking into.

Ian, Compliance Lead Ian Compliance Lead

Compliance without the paperwork feeling like paperwork. DBS, references, safer recruitment — all sorted.

Sinead, Digital & Marketing Sinead Digital & Marketing

Runs everything digital. The reason this website works and the reason you found it.

Lee, Recruitment Consultant Lee Recruitment Consultant

The consultant candidates ask for by name. Cheerful under pressure. Sound advice, always.

How we work

Three rules. Kept for 30 years.

The way the Class team works with each other — and why that matters for you.

One consultant per client.

If you're Shelly's client, you get Shelly. Every call, every candidate, every follow-up. No handovers to junior "account managers", no rotating team leads.

Everyone knows every job.

Monday morning meetings mean the whole team knows the current caseload. If your consultant's off, someone else knows your setting and picks up seamlessly.

We celebrate together.

Every placement lands in the office WhatsApp. It's how we've stayed small, tight and enjoyable to work at — and enjoyable to work with.

Careers with Class

Want to join the team?

We hire people who love this work — ex-practitioners, natural relationship-builders, patient and cheerful under pressure. If that sounds like you, we'd like to talk.

Say hello

Real people. Real relationships.
