In order to support a Governing Body recruit an Executive Headteacher, Headteacher, Head of School or Senior Leader, I can do the following things;

• Meet with the Governing Body to discuss the strategic direction of the school / academy and decide what type of person fits where the school is heading
• Helping with the appointment of a Recruitment Selection Panel
• Facilitating the discussion about school group size, salary scales, and pay
• Designing the job description, person specification and job advert
• Advise on how to find suitable candidates, where to advertise and use my networks to headhunt select people
• Manage the application screening process and shortlisting
• Ensure that safer recruitment principles are met at every step of the recruitment process
• Designing a bespoke assessment process that assesses the right skills for the job
• Coaching Governors in interview skills and techniques, as well as critiquing an application form ready for the interview
• Designing an induction programme which ensures the successful candidate is working at full capacity as soon as possible
