Staffed by a team that has years of experience providing support across all phases of education, we have an enviable reputation for providing successful short-term leadership solutions. We can help you find interim headteachers and outstanding senior leaders using our network of associates and sector-leading search processes.

If your school is struggling to recruit permanently to a post, looking to cover a long-term absence or seeking additional leadership capacity from an exceptional leader to promote rapid change and improvement, we can help.

  • We find outstanding headteachers, deputies, senior local authority personnel and other subject/phase specialists for interim management roles.
  • We draw on a vast network of associates, grown organically through word of mouth and personal recommendation, to uncover hard-to-find candidates with proven and successful track records.
  • We only provide you with highly targeted CVs for candidates who fit your brief. If we don’t have the right person this time round, we will tell you!

If you are looking for a senior level of support and first class delivery on an interim recruitment for your school, I couldn’t recommend Conexus highly enough. I gave our requirements to them over the phone, emphasising urgency. Within a very short time we had exceptional candidates to interview and within a week we had the contracts signed. The process could not have been smoother.
