This is a varied role that combines office-based recruitment with attending universities, careers fairs, education events, networking opportunities, and local recruitment initiatives to proactively attract high-quality teachers and support staff.
Success in this role comes from building lasting relationships, understanding candidates' career aspirations, and ensuring we always have the very best talent available for our partner schools.
