Thank you for your application

<p>I joined Class People in October 2023, a challenging role that has enabled me to progress and grow into a Senior Recruitment Consultant role. I currently support West Gloucestershire where I enjoy building connections and relationships with candidates and employers alike.</p>
<p>Having worked in education previously, I understand the needs and requirements of teachers from an inside perspective. My main focus is to build as strong a relationship with both schools and teachers as possible. This is to ensure smooth and progressive transactions for all parties involved &amp; provide personalised support every step of the way.</p>
<p>Whether you are an educator seeking your next challenge or a school looking to build a successful team, I am confident that I have the expertise and passion needed to help you achieve your goals.</p>
