At EduExec Recruitment, we believe recruitment should be about more than placements

Our Charity Partnership with YoungMinds

<p>At EduExec Recruitment, we believe recruitment should be about more than placements - it should be about making a wider difference. That&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;ve partnered with YoungMinds, the UK&rsquo;s leading charity fighting for children and young people&rsquo;s mental health.</p><p>For every successful placement we make, we fund a Parents Helpline Advisor call, giving a parent in crisis the chance to access free, expert support at the moment they need it most. It&rsquo;s a simple but powerful way to connect the work we do in schools with supporting the wellbeing of young people and their families beyond the school gates.</p><p>This partnership also carries a personal meaning. I wanted to build something with values at its heart, and giving back where I can. Supporting YoungMinds felt like a natural step: their mission to create a world where no young person feels alone with their mental health is one I strongly believe in.</p><p>As EduExec Recruitment grows, so too will our commitment to this cause. Every placement we make contributes to ensuring more parents, families, and young people get the support they need.</p><p>We will also be raising awareness of different YoungMinds events and fundraisers and supporting their cause in as many different ways as possible.&nbsp;</p><p>👉 To learn more about YoungMinds and the incredible work they do, visit <a href="youngminds.org.uk" title="youngminds.org.uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youngminds.org.uk</a>.</p>

Recruiter

<p>I&rsquo;m the Founder of EduExec Recruitment, a specialist agency supporting schools and trusts with the recruitment of exceptional senior school support and leadership staff, from experts in School Business Management to HR, Finance, Operations and all other roles inbetween.</p><p>I&rsquo;ve spent over a decade in education recruitment, working closely with senior support staff and school leaders across the UK, and along the way I&rsquo;ve picked up a CIPD Level 7 qualification. That means I can happily talk policy, contracts and strategy, but I promise not to make dinner parties any duller than they already are.</p><p>EduExec Recruitment was born out of a simple idea: to offer a more personalised, transparent and informed recruitment solution, built on trust and genuine sector insight. When I say &ldquo;sector insight&rdquo;, I mean it literally as my wife is a School Business Manager, so conversations in our house often swing between budgets, staffing challenges and what&rsquo;s for dinner. It keeps me grounded in the real issues schools face every day.</p><p>At the heart of it all, I genuinely enjoy connecting brilliant people with the right opportunities, and helping schools and trusts find leaders who make a real difference. If I can do that while keeping things straightforward, supportive and maybe even a little enjoyable, then I&rsquo;m doing my job right.</p>
