What we do and how we do it

---

Theorise is solely dedicated to supplying high-quality non-medical person help (NMPH) support staff to colleges and universities across Scotland. We provide a range of different support roles to colleges and universities including Study Skills Tutors (for dyslexia, dyspraxia, and other specific learning difficulties), Mental Health Mentors, Autism Mentors as well as in-class Support Workers (ASD, ADD, ADHD), Note-Takers, Proof-Readers, and Examination Support staff. Theorise Ltd is recognised for the excellent quality of service we provide not only to our clients but also to our candidates, and we’ve built this reputation through a tailored approach that meets each of our clients’ individual needs while offering industry leading pay rates to candidates. As Theorise continues to grow we still offer a personalised, professional, yet informal approach with a focus on meeting the needs of all our clients and the students with whom we work. 

In the 2023-24 academic year, we have continued our expansion as the largest provider of additional support to Scotland's colleges and universities supporting well over 2,400 students.  A huge 33% increase from the year previous. Support has been provided in this academic year to Abertay University, Argyll UHI, Ayrshire College, Bath Spa University, Borders College, City of Glasgow College, Destiny College Glasgow, Edinburgh College, Forth Valley College, Glasgow Caledonian University, Glasgow Clyde College, Glasgow School of Art,Grounded Learning Ltd, Heriot-Watt University, HTC UHI, Inverness College UHI, MGA Academy, Napier University, Newbattle Abbey College, Newcastle University, North West Hebrides UHI, Open University, Orkney College UHI, Outer Hebrides UHI, Perth College UHI, Queen Margaret University, Queen Mary's University London, Robert Gordon University, SRUC, St. Andrews University, St. Mary's University, UKRI, University of Aberdeen, University of Dundee, University of Edinburgh, University of Glasgow, University of Leicester, University of Stirling and West Lothian College.

Theorise is fully aware that you have a choice, but with our focus and determination to give both our clients and their students a positive experience we hope to be your first choice.

Further education can be a daunting prospect for any student but perhaps more so for those who need additional support, for whatever reason, and 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. 

We recognise that sourcing “best fit” candidates can be challenging but we are confident Theorise has the experience and know-how to deliver a solution for all student’s specific needs. Theorise has a proven track record of delivering excellent candidates for a range of roles, whether it is one person or volume recruitment, and we are entirely confident in our ability to meet any requirements.

Theorise consider it critical to our success in education that we retain our support workers to ensure students have consistency throughout their studies. Ideally, a support worker assigned to a student in the first year of their course will continue to work with the same student until the completion of their studies. Theorise 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.

Unlike many companies operating in this field, Theorise Ltd also have credibility and accountability in the field of recruitment, which we believe makes us stand out from other providers. We continuously strive to improve and uphold our reputation as a professional and high-quality recruitment business through our status as a:

· Corporate Member of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC)

· Member of the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB)

This ensures we commit to the highest standards of being a compliant and productive recruitment business and ensures we can be trusted to provide an honest and reliable service. 

Theorise Ltd are also a registered supplier to Student Finance England and Wales, which ensures our support staff are qualified to the highest possible standards.
