Congratulations to all the winners at the national MAT Awards evening hosted by the Multi Academy Trust Association (MATA) on 7th March. We were shortlisted for the Education Consultant of the Year Award, and while we didn't win we were in very good company in our category.
We met many lovely people and it was nice to be part of an evening that recognises the good work and collaboration that goes behind the scenes, to ensure children and young adults receive the very best of teaching and learning.

We were fortunate to be asked to contribute to the ‘Soundbites’ feature of the March/April Recruiter Magazine, with its combined media reach of 100,000 subscribers.
The question is ‘What is the bravest step forward your business has made so far in 2024?’.
The year is still yet new and there are many more brave steps to take ahead of us in 2024. Our bravest step is to be more transparent than ever and to shout a little louder about why we are the successful education recruitment partner for you.

Happy 4th birthday to us!
We are super grateful to all of our supportive clients and candidates for helping us to realise our dream in running a successful business. Here we are, four years down the line and still going strong!
We couldn't have achieved this without the help and support we received in the first days of setting up and we will always appreciate the help and guidance we had - and still have! We love what we do and we hope it shows in the recruitment experience we give our clients and candidates.
Here's to the next four years and more!

The recruitment sector is a very crowded place - what makes the Dedicate Difference?
Unlike most recruitment companies, we are education sector specialists. In fact, we are ‘double niche’ - dedicated to placing support staff within schools, colleges, universities and multi-academy trusts across the UK.
Our primary focus is to provide an outstanding level of service to our clients and candidates, achieved through consistent attention to detail and providing regular progress updates. We will invest time and resources to ensure we understand our client and candidate requirements.
This month (July 2023) we are celebrating four years in business, drawing on close to three decades of recruitment experience within a range of sectors, including fifteen years within education. To support our knowledge and experience of best recruitment practice, we are a Professional Member of the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC), the professional body for recruitment companies.

We had the privilege of attending a Q&A session this month with Isaac Hempstead Wright aka Bran Stark of the huge HBO hit TV series Game Of Thrones. He is an ex-pupil at our sons' school and it was organised by their brilliant Film Studies teacher (who is a huge GOT fan which helps!).
Isaac was candid, gracious and uniquely grounded! He was a child star at 10 YO, he talked about studying for his GCSE's and A - Levels during filming, which he achieved successfully, and the happy memories he had of school. After GOT ended (not to everyone's satisfaction!) he undertook a degree in Neuroscience where he contributed to a pilot study of eye movement patterns which could be an early indicator of Parkinsons. Now he is embarking on training to become a Doctor! As the teacher said "is there anything you can't do?".
It was a super experience and Isaac made many references to his Mum - which I think is partly why he is such a down to earth young man, and who will be a great success in his new career.

Congratulations to Faversham Strike Force Football Club and the Under 17's Thunder team for an incredible season!
It has been an amazing experience to support this local youth football team over the past 3 seasons. We've witnessed the players gain skills and grow as a squad - developing teamwork and leadership qualities along the way - with some epic goals to boot!
We look forward to supporting you in 2023/24.

We had an excellent day (17th May) at The Schools & Academies Show meeting key Senior Leaders, Head Teachers and Managers from across a broad education spectrum.
The buzz in the Excel arena was electric and it was fantastic to be part of such a pioneering event with keynote speakers including Mo Farrah, a good mix of CEO's from a number of schools & Academy Trusts and Matt Hancock who presented an insightful talk on Getting Pupils with Dyslexia the Support They Need, drawing on his own personal experience.
We are also pleased to announce the winner of the chocolate bouquet competition is Kurt Ringmo, Operations Manager of University Schools Trust. We hope you enjoy it Kurt!

We were absolutely delighted to be involved with the 30:30 Skills careers networking event for sixth form students at Wye School in Kent this month, organised by Paul Andrews at Jobs in Kent.
During the event, businesses heard from local authority and relevant recruitment groups, while students took part in an employment-related workshop. Then both groups got together for facilitated speed-networking. We were pleased to hear of their plans to attend university or apprenticeships - amazing young people!
