Curtis Oldroyd

Having previously worked within education, I understand first-hand the pressures schools and educators face, and that experience has always shaped the way I approach recruitment. I’m passionate about building strong, honest relationships with both schools and candidates and making sure everyone feels properly supported throughout the process.

Alongside continuing to support schools across West Gloucestershire, a big part of my role now focuses on business performance, team development and driving sustainable growth across Class People. I work closely with the wider team to review performance, identify opportunities, support individual development and make sure we’re continually moving in the right direction.

I’m often known as the “numbers guy” because I love figures, targets and understanding what sits behind business performance. For me, though, the numbers are really about people- helping consultants grow in confidence, develop their desks and achieve more, while making sure we continue delivering an excellent service to the schools and educators we work with.

Outside of work, I’m a huge sports fan and will happily watch or play almost anything. Football, golf and darts are particular favourites, and I’ve also become a keen padel player.

Whether you’re an educator looking for your next opportunity, a school needing support or a member of the team looking to push yourself further, I’m always focused on helping people progress and achieve their goals.
