“I genuinely believe it’s incumbent on us all to accentuate the positives associated with the education sector…I’m not for one second saying that working in the sector is easy, & there are many issues to be tackled…" @helenstevenson.bsky.social 1/2

I want to wish Satis Education colleagues and friends a merry Christmas and a peaceful New Year. A special thank you to our Advisory Board Michael Pain, Ann Palmer, @carter59.bsky.social and Steve Lancashire who continue to support and guide us to deliver the highest quality service to our clients.

It gladdens my heart when education professionals accept that there’s plenty we can learn from other sectors. And obviously there’s lots that others can learn from us. If we only ever look inward we limit our ability to find creative solutions to challenges.

My Grandad fled from Poland in 1939 & never saw his parents or 2 of his brothers again. He wasn’t sure what happened to the brothers as they were in East Germany. The internet is criticised for many things but today I found this - his “little” brother. www.twohigfunerals.com/obituary/661...

Some excellent interim opportunities

A day of celebration of excellence in NW #education yesterday. Inspirinh visits to Kirkby High School and Carmel College, capped off with the Eduate Awards in stunning Liverpool Cathedral. Thanks @helenstevenson.bsky.social for the invitation. www.linkedin.com/posts/activi...

The Satis Education team wish our Jewish friends and colleagues a Happy New Year.

A busy and very successful start to the new academic year for the Satis Education team. Why not contact us to discuss your recruitment needs.

Cutting short my attendance at #Lab24 as one of the schools I’m Chair of Governors at has had the call. #GovernanceMatters

Excellent session chaired by @missmc.bsky.social with an “edu-all star panel”. So much to think about. I feel an article coming on…. #Lab24

Great session on Teacher Recruitment & Retention at the #Lab24 hosted by PLMR. Good to hear from Leora Cruddas Tom Rees Freddie Whittaker & others. I wrote an article last year about “talking up” the sector if we want to encourage the best to join. I was pleased to hear other colleagues agreeing.

Great day yesterday at #Lab24. Bumped into Christine Quinn (amongst others!) and hope to catch up properly today.

If anyone is at the #LabourPartyConference in Liverpool this week and fancies meeting up inbox me and we can arrange. As a local I can show you all the best places 😉

As part of our commitment to the sector Satis Education offer free career development coaching to senior and executive leaders. If you’re a leader who is not sure what your next step could/should be contact [email protected] to arrange a session. #BringingGreatPeopleTogether

Myself & Laura are delighted to be representing Satis Education at the Forum Strategy National #TrustLeaders CEO Conference 2024 today. We’re particularly looking forward to connecting with colleagues we didn’t see at last night’s networking event. Come & say hello! #BringingGreatPeopleTogether

My thoughts on how recent policy announcements and changes to Ofsted might impact on recruitment and retention. #BringingGreatPeopleTogether www.satiseducation.co.uk/2024/09/17/c...

Not in the Satis Education office today but looks like an interesting letter waiting for me tomorrow.

If any colleagues are heading to the fair city of Liverpool (I’m not biased!) for the @teamlabouruk.bsky.social Conference later this month, it’d be great to catch up. Drop me a message and we arrange a time to meet.

Great to see Satis Education associate Jon Chaloner as part of this group. schoolsweek.co.uk/ofsted-names...

It was an honour to support the Board with this appointment and secure such a fantastic candidate. #BringingGreatPeopleTogether

Are you an aspiring Primary Headteacher? This is a great role with a school looking to join a genuinely collaborative trust. For more details see the link below or contact Laura McGunigle at [email protected] #EduSky #BringingGreatPeopleTogether joinforesttown.co.uk

Satis Education are delighted to be hosting a networking event at the Crowne Plaza the evening before the Conference, which will include a brief presentation by Jon Chaloner on MAT succession planning. To register email [email protected] by midday12.00 on 6 September.

I am delighted to finally announce that we were able to support the Trust Board from CELT with this amazing appointment! Dan - we look forward to working with you in your new role. #EduSky #BringingGreatPeopleTogether www.tes.com/magazine/new...

If anyone is heading to the @schoolsweek.bsky.social event tomorrow evening, please come over and say hello if we’ve not had the opportunity to meet IRL yet!

An interesting move.. @SatisEducation have undertaken recruitment processes for trusts who have used the terminology “Trust Leader” and it isn’t well received by candidates. It’d be interesting to compare candidates’ perceptions with those of other members of a trust’s staffing body. #EduSky

Ensuring the safety & wellbeing of children, young people & adults is at the heart of everything we do. Today the Satis Education team are taking part in Safer Recruitment training to ensure we can offer the highest quality service to all clients and candidates. #BringingGreatPeopleTogether #EduSky

1st day back & younger members of the Satis Education team think I need to move with the times. My response: skibidy sigma. If you know you know! In all seriousness we’ll be developing social media content to attract young talent to the profession. Fear not there’ll be no Tik Tok dancing from me!

Over the next few days I’ll be sharing my thoughts on how this might impact on the recruitment and retention crisis. #EduSky #BringingGreatPeopleTogether

On behalf of the Satis Education team, wishing all our friends and colleagues a good start to the new academic year. #EduSky

As sector leaders in MAT executive leadership recruitment the Satis Education team are proud to see two CEOs we have appointed starting their new roles tomorrow. #BringingGreatPeopleTogether www.satiseducation.co.uk
