Hi, I’m Kellie…

…Director of Appoint-Ed, and specialist in MAT recruitment.

Since 2009, I’ve worked with school and MAT leaders to secure exceptional people for their central and executive teams. The kind of talent they’d rarely find through advertising alone.

I’m passionate about helping trusts approach recruitment strategically, aligning decision-makers, shaping the brief, and engaging the right people with clarity and confidence.

I partner with CEOs, COOs and HRDs to deliver leadership and niche appointments that make a lasting impact, whether permanent, interim or pipelined for the future.

I'm based in Manchester with my husband and young daughter, and I’ve seen first-hand the transformative power of education.

Since starting school, my daughter, has transformed from painfully shy pre-schooler into a confident kid with a lot to say (seriously - she doesn’t stop talking!).
