Recruiting and Retaining a Strong and Committed Workforce | Secondary

This webinar will provide headteachers, senior leaders, governors and HR managers with advice and practical guidance on designing and delivering an effective staff recruitment and retention strategy which attracts a wide and diverse field of candidates and embraces life-friendly practice.

A report published by the National Foundation for Education Research (NFER) highlights that teacher supply challenges are returning in England: recruitment targets are unlikely to be met for a range of secondary subjects, and teacher retention rates are returning to pre-pandemic level. A high level of staff attrition has the potential to disrupt teaching and learning and increasing the workloads of staff who remain, whilst impacting budgets and morale overall.

In this webinar, Lindsay Patience, co-founder of Flexible Teacher Talent, teacher and SLT member, explains the who, where and how of effective staff recruitment and retention to help minimise the need to re-advertise roles, and reduce associated costs and disruption to the smooth running of the school.
