About us

Like most graduates, Danny paid a small fortune to complete a degree to then venture into the real world with no clue on what he wanted to do as a first job, never mind a career! Danny seemed to fall into recruitment, having always been a ‘people person’.

12 years on, he is not only still recruiting but Clarus Education has been born. Along with his partner in crime Alison, he's made Clarus a leading education recruitment consultancy, which genuinely adds value to UK schools’ recruitment process and provides an exceptional service.

Clarus Education is breaking the mould and will continue to do what they do best…!

Alison is the Managing Partner at Clarus Education.

With almost 20 years of education recruitment under her belt, she, together with her amazing work husband Danny, advises the team and gives them the support and guidance they need to provide the best possible experience for clients and candidates alike.

Alison is incredibly proud of Clarus and the people within it, due to the impeccable level of service they give to all.

Kelvin is a conscientious and personable consultant who always strives to achieve the very best for his candidates and clients alike. With a background in media sales & consultancy, Kelvin has even spent time as a wine merchant, which makes him pretty handy when ordering wine in a restaurant.

He certainly knows his Merlot from his Pinotage.  Kelvin is also a huge football and music fan and has played in several bands in the past.
