Our Charity Partnership with YoungMinds

At EduExec Recruitment, we believe recruitment should be about more than placements - it should be about making a wider difference. That’s why we’ve partnered with YoungMinds, the UK’s leading charity fighting for children and young people’s mental health.

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’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.

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.

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.

We will also be raising awareness of different YoungMinds events and fundraisers and supporting their cause in as many different ways as possible.

When data is underutilised, opportunities are missed, patterns remain invisible and assumptions can slowly creep into bias.

Too Many Voices Can Blur the Hiring Picture

Over the years, I’ve seen many cases where too many voices in the hiring process create unintended confusion. Different stakeholders - from HR and finance to leadership and SLT's and beyond - all bring their own priorities and perspectives.

The Growing Importance of Marketing in Independent Schools

Independent schools today are operating in a climate of shifting expectations, financial pressures, political interference and heightened competition. Where once reputation and tradition alone could sustain healthy enrolment, schools now face headwinds that demand a more proactive and strategic approach to positioning themselves in the marketplace. We've only got to see the stories of closures of long standing institutions to see how challenging the sector is right now. Marketing, certainly when I first started in schools recruitment, was once seen as peripheral or an add-on to someone else’s job description, but over the years has now moved firmly to the fore.
