Leadership Appointment

Leadership appointments can be critical to the ongoing success of your school but invariably are a time consuming, expensive and often stressful process. Identifying the candidate that will add value to your school or college and will embrace your vision can at times be difficult and the appointment of such candidates requires many diverse skills.

We have the knowledge, skills and experience to manage this process for you from the initial scoping of the role and advertising to the organising of the final interviews and appointment.

Our Approach

Our approach is one of a close and consultative partnership and we tailor our services to meet your requirements.

We work closely with you so we understand you, your school and your expectations. We dedicate time to understand the school culture and the aspirations of the Headteacher and Governors. Depending on the vacancy, we may even consult to gain the views of the parents, pupils and local community; this is typically when we recruit for a Headteacher.

We have lead outstanding schools in our previous roles and have a wealth of experience when recruiting for leadership roles. We use this experience when supporting your school. We understand the importance of getting the right calibre of candidates.

Our recruitment services range from headhunting through to a full service that includes every stage of your recruitment campaign: candidate management, short-listing and the planning of your assessment day and interview.

We would be delighted to discuss our services with you.

Advertise a Vacancy

If you are looking to advertise a vacancy for a teacher or non-teacher then there is no better place to visit than our website.

We host advertisement for all types of school based jobs and for varying periods; short-term, long-term or permanent.

As the fastest growing Recruitment Agency in the Northwest we have a wide audience that is growing by the day. We also have an extensive social platform including LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter, so your advertisement will benefit from significant reach and exposure.

Our costs for advertising are tailored to your needs and if you are an existing customer for any of our services the charge will be significantly reduced.

We can offer support with the artwork for your advertisement or provide advice and guidance in terms of getting the best return for your advert.

We would be delighted to have the opportunity to discuss our services with you further.

Teacher Appointments

The teacher recruitment process can at certain times of the year place an unprecedented demand on the Headteacher and other Senior Leaders. It is not uncommon for Head teachers to have to dedicate full weeks to the interview process dependant on vacancies and applications and this time does not include the initial work for the advertisement and long and short listing process.

At Red Apple Education we would support you through that process and free up your valuable time for the benefit of the school. We would work closely with you and become a trusted partner. We would take all our direction from you but, with our wealth of knowledge and experience, would look to help you through the recruitment and selection process.

Our recruitment services range from headhunting through to a full service that includes every stage of your recruitment campaign: candidate management, short-listing and the planning of your assessment day and interview.

We would welcome the opportunity to discuss our service with you in more detail.

Non Teacher Appointments

At Red Apple Education we have a wealth of knowledge and experience in making non-teaching appointments. We understand the key role non-teachers play in a school environment and provide you with support for all level of recruitment.

Attendance is free but the benefits you will gain will be unlimited.

Our training evenings also provide an excellent social opportunity to meet like-minded peers. Our training provides you with the opportunity to share your experiences and benefits from those experiences shared with you.

We stay abreast of all new legislation and regulations; working closely with our schools and the Local Authority. We also have an excellent legal team who are educational specialists and keep a regular daily monitor of the DfE and HMRC.

Mentoring/Support

Working in a school environment can, without doubt be a challenging career but it is one that will bring rich rewards in terms of the satisfaction you gain knowing that you have made a difference.

Whether you are working in administration or a support role or whether you are a classroom teacher, you will have a role to play in the school that will contribute to the overall wellbeing of the children and their academic progressions.

That said, there will always be days when you may feel your performance has not met the challenges presented to you and on these occasions you may feel your motivation for the role suffer. We are here to support you in these circumstances. We have over 25 combined years of experience working in schools and there is little you will experience that we haven’t experienced ourselves, we will be here for you to share your experiences and we can guide and support you to ensure that the experience becomes and opportunity; to learn and improve.

You can call us any time, day or night, if you’ve had a challenging day and feel as if you need some guidance or support, then just give us a call. We want you to enjoy your work and be happy in your role and we will do all we can to help you realise this vision.
