Meet Our Founder | Neil Poole

After more than 20 years in education recruitment, Neil saw the same challenges happening time and time again.

Schools relied on short-term recruitment solutions, trusted relationships were constantly disrupted, and talented graduates often struggled to find meaningful routes into education.

That’s why Shape A Life was created.

Neil founded Shape A Life with a simple belief: every child deserves someone who believes in them. By connecting passionate people with careers in education, early years and care, we’re helping to build stronger teams, create lasting opportunities and make a genuine difference to the lives of children and young people.

This is more than recruitment. It’s about creating brighter futures.

💙 Welcome to Shape A Life.

Every child deserves someone who believes in them. 💜

Behind every confident learner, every breakthrough moment, and every smile is someone who took the time to encourage, support and inspire.

Whether it’s a teaching assistant helping a child discover their confidence, an early years practitioner nurturing curiosity, or a support worker making a young person feel seen, these everyday moments create lasting impact.

At Shape A Life, we’re passionate about connecting purpose-driven people with careers where they can make a real difference. Because changing one child’s day can change the course of their future.
