Senior Management Appointments

Masterlock's Senior management service has been established in response to the difficulties faced by many Governing bodies and Local Education Authorities in recruiting senior managers, particularly at Deputy and Headteacher levels or in situations where a school has been identified as having serious weaknesses or is placed in Special Measures. Our service is designed to assist schools who are in need of good leadership, whether this be as a short/medium term measure whilst a long term solution is found or on a permanent basis. Many Governing bodies and LEA's use our service either as a replacement or substitute to their traditional methods, or as an extra resource for sourcing high calibre senior management personnel. Their needs can vary from resignation, maternity,or long term sickness cover to providing additional support to a school in difficulties or to an inexperienced or struggling Headteacher.

Our national database of candidates have a proven track record of senior management, many of whom are Ofsted inspectors. Any candidate that we recommend will have been interviewed personally and undergone a thorough and stringent vetting process which include a minimum of three professional references, police, medical and qualification checks. Although it is usual for senior managers to be in post for a minimum of a term in a full time capacity, we also have a number of candidates who are available to undertake part time and/or short term advisory/mentoring roles.

Whilst it is our intention to recommend at least three candidates for a post in order to provide a choice of candidates there may be occasions when this is not possible. We take pride in our efforts to ensure that only suitable candidates who match the specific client brief are recommended for consideration. Our senior management candidates are given precise details of the assignment and are fully briefed about the expectations that will be made of them before they are recommended for consideration. We encourage informal visits and discussions to ensure that there is a high degree of compatibility before reaching formal interview stage.

LEA's or Governing Bodies who are interested in using our service will need to provide full details of the assignment together with relevant background details. Successful candidates can either be appointed through Masterlock or directly by a school on a fixed or permanent contract. Senior management personnel are paid with reference to national pay scales and any additional costs such as relocation or accommodation expenses are subject to negotiation.
