Higher Education providers require leaders who combine their passion for the power of education to transform lives with an incredibly wide range of skills including strategy development, financial acumen, values driven culture change, civic and international engagement, political nous and a deep understanding of the fast-paced nature of change, challenge and demand.

Every member of our specialist education team is relentless in their commitment to placing and developing genuinely exceptional academic and professional services leaders and non-executives, who exemplify innovation, collegiality and transformation.

The unrivalled insight into educational leadership from our own experience as leaders and managers in education, our connection to national policymakers combined with access to diverse leaders looking for their next senior executive or non-executive role, affords us the confidence to represent our clients authentically in the market.

Our end-to-end services include recruiting permanent and interim leaders, top team and talent pipeline development programmes and board effectiveness reviews.

We are trusted to deliver quality and diverse shortlists with the leadership experience and values our clients are seeking, to fill the most senior permanent and interim education leadership roles across universities and HE providers.
