My Journey in Education Recruitment: From PA and Cover Manager to Standby Education

Hello! I’m Jo, and I’m thrilled to share my journey in education recruitment with you. Born and raised in Derby, I’ve always had a deep connection to my community and a passion for education. My path into this field has been shaped by years of experience working in secondary schools, and I’m excited to tell you how it all began.

My Background in Education

My journey started in October 2011 after several rewarding years as a Personal Assistant (PA) and Cover Manager in secondary schools. In these roles, I had the opportunity to work closely with educators and students alike, gaining invaluable insights into the inner workings of schools. I saw first hand the challenges that teachers faced, as well as the impact they had on their students’ lives.

Recognising a Need

During my time in the education sector, I became increasingly aware of the difficulties schools encounter in finding the right staff. I noticed talented educators struggling to find positions that suited their skills and aspirations. This experience ignited a passion within me to help bridge that gap.

The Birth of Standby Education

Driven by my desire to make a difference, I decided to set up my own education recruitment company: Standby Education. My goal was to create a platform where schools could easily connect with dedicated educators, and where teachers could find fulfilling roles that matched their expertise and values.

At Standby Education, we strive to understand the unique needs of both schools and candidates. We believe that the right fit is crucial for creating a positive and productive learning environment. Our mission is to ensure that every placement contributes to the success of both educators and students.

A Commitment to Excellence

As I continue on this journey, I am committed to fostering a culture of excellence in education recruitment. I recognise that the landscape is constantly evolving, and I am dedicated to adapting to the changing needs of schools and educators. My passion for education remains at the core of Standby Education, driving me to support our community in meaningful ways.

Looking Ahead

I’m excited about the future of Standby Education and the opportunities we can create together. Whether you’re an educator seeking new challenges or a school in need of talented staff, I’m here to help you every step of the way.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about my journey. I look forward to connecting with you and making a positive impact in the world of education!
