Leadership Recruitment for Schools and Trusts

Satis Education is a sector-leading executive recruitment organisation, providing expert support to trusts on the recruitment of Chief Executives; Executive and Operational leaders; Principals and Headteachers; and other senior leaders. We have recruited many dozens of senior executive leaders to academy trusts and schools nationwide; developing longstanding partnerships with trustees, governors and CEOs who trust us to deliver high quality leadership recruitment when they need it.

What do people say about our Executive recruitment services?

"Satis offered us a bespoke service and were fully understanding of the ethos and culture of our trust. They were easy to contact and responsive throughout the process. Their preparation and organisation, particularly the online aspects of the interview process, were smooth and efficient. I would not hesitate to recommend them."

Marie Garside CBE – Chair, St Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Academy Trust

“We used Satis Education for a senior appointment within our Trust and we were very impressed. They took time to understand our needs and put together an excellent candidate application pack which fully reflected our ethos and attracted high quality candidates.  Satis managed all candidate liaison, put together the selection day tasks and ran the selection day for us.  We appointed a brilliant individual who is now in post and who is making a sustained and substantial contribution to our organisation.”

Teresa Tunnadine CBE – CEO, Middlesex Learning Trust

“As a Trust we commissioned Satis to recruit our CEO and CFO and, in doing so, manage the whole process from initial contact with prospective candidates through to completing offer letters and contracts. I could not be more pleased with the professional way in which Satis approached this. Communication was excellent and their advice and suggestions around process were first class. We have been successful with both appointments. An additional bonus, through advertising for a CEO, was that we were supported in finding a Trust Board Director to chair our Audit and Risk committee, something we had struggled to do on our own. I would certainly use Satis again.”

Sean McClafferty – Chair, Hallam Schools’ Partnership Academy Trust
