Working for Education World since 2008, I am now proud to hold the role of managing director with what has established itself as a well-respected brand in education recruitment. Our fantastic team of consultants and back office support share my principals of long-lasting relationships with partner schools, offering a genuine value added, bespoke solution for all their recruitment needs. It has been fantastic to watch Education World grow over the years both within the North East and now throughout South Yorkshire and East Midlands and I am excited to continue our vision: ‘To be the fastest growing and most respected education recruitment partner in England by improving education provision for every child, every day!’

I have been working in Finance roles since 1998 and for Juhler Group companies since 2013 and have over 10 years experience with processing weekly temporary workers payroll. I enjoy a spreadsheet more than what would be considered normal.

At Education World, we not only provide employment opportunities but also build human connections. Balancing seriousness with a touch of humour, I like to make compliance a positive and enjoyable experience.

I joined Education World in September 2019 as Compliance Officer, working on the clearance of our Teachers, TAs and Support Staff. I began my career in recruitment in the industrial and commercial sector while obtaining my Level 2 NVQ in Business Administration. After completing my apprenticeship in 2017, I moved into education recruitment where I started working in compliance.

When I came to Education World, we had just opened our South Yorkshire office, and I have watched our company grow from strength to strength since. It’s a real privilege to be part of such a dedicated and hardworking team, committed to finding the right partnerships for our staff and schools!
