7 BESPOKE TRAINING We have recently added bespoke training and continuous professional development opportunities for all of our candidates, with no additional charges to our clients. We realise that whatever career choices individuals make, it is important that we develop staff within their roles. We are proud to boast a National Leader of Education who can lead on all aspects of pedagogy and preparation for newly qualified staff, middle leaders and senior leaders. Whether that be improving the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development or leadership and management of our schools. “Myself and the other governors felt your understanding of our current school’s needs were comprehensive at this time of change. Also your guidance and support through our Headteacher selection process was greatly valued and appreciated.” IAN - CHAIR OF GOVERNORS

8 BESPOKE TRAINING “The engagement from Steve got everyone involved in the training, and the depth of information obtained was very useful. The information on the topic of behaviour was also very useful and I am confident that I will be able to use some of the techniques in practice. I would love to be invited to any other training offered to support me in my role.” SABRINA - TEACHING ASSISTANT CLIENT BENEFITS • We will conduct an initial telephone conversation or face to face meeting to assess and evaluate the individual needs of each school setting. We tailor the bespoke requirements of each setting to match those specific needs to our large database of effective and available candidates. If the vacancy requires candidates to possess skills and attributes not readily available, we will actively recruit for each individual need. • At Balfor Education, we realise how costly, pressurised and time consuming recruiting the right member of staff can be, without any guarantees of the desired outcomes. We pride ourselves in delivering the right results, first time, every time by providing schools with the staffing they need in an effective and efficient way, allowing schools to focus on teaching, learning and pupil achievement. • We always deal with clients confidentially, professionally and cost effectively. • At Balfor Education we believe in working in collaboration with our clients and giving back is very important to us. We are happy to offer our support for any events that you hold such as Christmas or Summer Fayres, Parents Evenings, Discos and Open Days.
