Senior leadership roles

I had a fantastic experience working with Joseph from Connaught. He went above and beyond to match me with the perfect job opportunity. From the initial consultation to the final offer, his professionalism and attention to detail were remarkable. Thanks to his expertise, I found a role that not only aligned with my skills but also my career goals. I highly recommend Connaught to anyone seeking personalised and effective recruitment services. They truly exceeded my expectations, and I’m grateful for their assistance in launching the next chapter of my career.

Kathryn is a consummate professional! From the moment she reached out to me (via Linkedin) with regards to a specific role she knew about, to the end of the process, myself having being offered and accepted the job, she was always courteous and polite. She was in communication with me at every step of the way, even when there was a slight hiatus due to the school holiday period, keeping me fully informed of the situation and at what stage we were at. She relayed the details of the role and the contract to me exactly as it was presented by the school, and negotiated the remuneration package well within the parameters I had asked for. She dealt with the final offer and made sure everything was in place and secure for both parties before finally relinquishing the reigns for me to arrange final details with the school in question.
I would recommend Kathryn to anyone who was looking for a teaching role and would definitely work with her again if the need ever arose.

Shirley was an incredible support whilst helping me get the role. Shirley would phone me with each update in such a positive manner with such enthusiasm, it was contagious! Shirley gave me advice and tips throughout the interview process to make it easier. Overall am so pleased with how Connaught helped me secure this role. I am very thankful of Shirley!

I found Ella to be an excellent professional in every way, helping me to secure my current job.
At each step, Ella was caring and behaved as an excellent go-between between the school and me.
I find her professionalism sublime, and her ability to get the best from schools and teachers to be superb.
I recommend Ella Hayes to you.

Connaught Education was an extremely valuable resource to have in the time I spent searching for jobs. Joseph, who I worked with directly, was an excellent communicator who also brought a sense of kindness and professionalism to our interactions. I’m grateful for the work they do at Connaught, as it is quite helpful. Through their representation, I got two great pastoral roles at prestigious schools in Cambridge.

Liam Mucklow supported me during the process of applying for my new teaching job. He understood my expectations and helped me throughout the interview process until I secured the job position. He is a highly committed agent, who provided an authentic approach while demonstrating an excellent knowledge of the Pembridge Hall School ethos and provided clear recommendations on how I should present myself as an applicant during the consultation with the members of the senior leadership team. He went above and beyond my expectations by checking that I had all my paperwork ready, had all the correct timings and that I was happy with the salary negotiations. I really appreciated his honest feedback throughout the whole process. I have already recommended Liam to my colleague, who is currently looking for her new job.

“I have nothing but words of praise for Joseph.
He was professional, supportive, good listener and communicator, gave timely updates and an excellent negotiator.”

If it wasn’t for Kathryn and Connaught, I would not have discovered my dream career. Kathryn was helpful, attentive and efficient when putting me forward for a role as a Graduate Teaching Assistant. She always kept me well informed and instilled me with confidence before my interview – I cannot thank her enough!

I had the pleasure of working with Shirley and the Connaught team, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their support throughout my job search. From the very start, Shirley was incredibly attentive, friendly, and professional. She went above and beyond to make sure I was well-prepared for every step of the process. Not only did she promptly answer my questions, but she also took the time to organize a meeting with herself and Ella to help me prepare for my interview something not many agencies do. Shirley’s commitment and support were constant, and I truly felt like she was with me every step of the way. What really stood out to me was the level of communication I received. Connaught kept me updated, even reaching out on weekends to inform me of the interview outcome—an effort that truly exceeded my expectations. Thanks to Shirley and Connaught’s guidance, I felt confident and well-prepared for the entire process, which ultimately led to me securing a fantastic role at Wetherby Pembridge Minors. This experience was unlike any other recruitment process I’ve been through. The personalized attention, the extra effort Shirley put into my preparation and even after securing the job, and the seamless communication set Connaught apart from other agencies I’ve worked with. I’m so thankful for everything they did to help me especially Shirley help find the perfect opportunity!

Working with Ella felt very easy and natural. Ella was very supportive throughout the interview process, and I always felt that she was ‘on my side’ so to speak, preparing me well for whatever was coming my way next. She was very clear in her communication and responded in a timely fashion, which was really appreciated. I would recommend working with her.

I am incredibly grateful to Connaught and Joseph for helping me secure this job at Stoke College. From my experience of teaching at a North London comprehensive, I needed to find something in the independent sector and when Joseph contacted me to tell me about this job, it was just what I needed. He helped me through the process from application to interview, to follow up and to contract negotiations. Although I am an experienced teaching professional, he still gave me the confidence to put myself out there and apply. I cannot recommend you guys enough for helping me secure this job.

I am so grateful for the incredibly professional job that Joseph at Connaught has done. He spent time to really get to know and understand me and and then found the perfect school for me. I was not planning to and did not need to leave my old teaching job, but Joseph found a position that was so perfect for me that I could not refuse. He is a first-class recruiter!

Kathryn reached out to me about an exciting early years teaching role she felt would be great for me. From beginning to end Kathryn ensured I was well prepared for both my video call and in person interview. Frequently contacting me to update me on the role and videoing calling me to assist and prepare me with possible interview questions, going out further to contact me after I had secured my placement. I am really appreciative of all the help Kathryn gave me!

Liam has found me just the best role possible! He made sure he knew my requirements and kept in contact to ensure that everything was running smoothly throughout the application application, interview as well as the negotiation process. I have recommended him as well as Connaught Education to another colleague.
