HR & Employment Awards 2024

Corporate Vision Issue 6 2024 | 9 Theorise provides a range of specialist student support roles to colleges, universities, and other educational institutions to meet clients’ individual requirements. These roles include Study Skills Tutors (for dyslexia, dyspraxia, and other specific learning difficulties), Mental Health Mentors, Autism Mentors, in-class Support Workers (ASD, ADD, ADHD), Note-Takers, Proof-Readers, and Examination Support Staff. To create an inclusive educational environment, Theorise offers a range of disability support tutors and mentors to help students unlock their academic potential. The team understands that every student is unique and employs a tailored approach to ensure support aligns with the needs of both clients and students. As Theorise continues to grow, the business remains committed to its professional, friendly approach which has proven successful with its students. Theorise has established itself as a trusted partner for esteemed institutions, such as the University of Aberdeen and the University of Edinburgh, seeking first-rate NMPH student support in Scotland. Theorise is recognised for its tailored approach and exceptional service for clients and candidates. Unlike other companies operating in the sector, Theorise has a reputation as a high-quality recruitment agency through its status as a Corporate Member of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) and a Member of the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB). In the academic year 23/24, the ambitious company was the preferred choice for over 50 educational institutions and delivered support to roughly 2300 individual students. Dany Brunton, Co-founder and Director of Theorise, says, “Further education can be a daunting prospect for any student but perhaps more so for those who need additional support. We are committed to ensuring they are afforded appropriate support from a suitably qualified and trusted support worker who can assist in their academic progression. “Theorise consider it critical to our success in education that we retain our support workers to ensure students have consistency throughout their studies. We firmly believe that consistency is key for students and that having the same support worker can assist in their academic progression through the creation of a strong and trustworthy working relationship.” Fiona’s story is an inspiring example of how Theorise’s services have made a meaningful difference in the lives of students. Theorise began working with Fiona during their undergraduate degree at Queen Maragret University when students were facing challenges as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Throughout this period, student support in Scotland was wholly online and Fiona, like many students, dealt with the changes admirably. Fiona shares, “Working with my Study Skills Tutor and Mental Health Mentor was a life saver. I was able to work on my time management skills, learn how to proofread my own work, and manage to pass the first year with much better grades than I anticipated. Theorise Ltd. is Scotland’s largest educational recruitment business, dedicated to supplying high-quality non-medical person help (NMPH) support staff to further and higher education institutions. Renowned for its excellent quality of service and personalised approach, Theorise has a proven track record of delivering exceptional candidates for a wide range of roles and exceeding the expectations of clients and students with whom they work. SUPPORTING DIVERSE LEARNERS “As I came into fourth year, I wound up working for an initiative called ELTI, tutoring high school students throughout East Lothian and Midlothian, which was organised with Queen Margaret University in partnership with Theorise. The program focuses on helping high school pupils who wouldn’t be able to access tutoring due to their diverse backgrounds. For the first time in my life, I felt like I had found my calling in a part-time role!” Theorise’s collaboration with Fiona led them to undergo a profound transformation from a student struggling with neurodiversityrelated challenges to becoming a fundamental part of the Theorise support team. Fiona’s journey is a testament to their own resilience in the face of personal challenges, the business’s unwavering support, and the positive impact that Theorise has on individuals’ education. Theorise has acquired an illustrious reputation not only for the outstanding support it provides to clients, candidates, and students but also for the meaningful difference it makes to students’ lives. With its personalised and professional approach, Theorise strives to meet clients’ requirements and the diverse learning needs of today’s students. In the wake of Theorise’s win at this year’s HR and Employment Awards, Dany Brunton says, “As we look ahead, Theorise Ltd remains dedicated to advancing the cause of inclusive education. Join us in our mission to unlock the potential of every student, creating a future where diverse learning needs are not just acknowledged but embraced.” For its specialist student support, we have bestowed on Theorise our award for Student Academic Support Recruitment Agency of the Year 2024 – Scotland.
