Welcome to Academicis,
Appointing the Education Leaders Your Schools and Trusts Need
Academicis has made over 2,300 senior appointments for schools, academy trusts and dioceses since 2013. We recruit CEOs, Executive Headteachers, Headteachers and senior school and trust leaders, and we work only in education. We also recruit to all of these roles when you are looking for interim support too.
Appointing a senior leader doesn’t happen often, and the stakes are high. We run the whole process for you. We search proactively for leaders who aren’t looking at job adverts, manage vetting, referencing and background checks before you interview, and keep the process fair, consistent and defensible. Our fixed fee comes with a guaranteed outcome, so in the unlikely event a search needs to be rerun, there is nothing more to pay.
Equally, if you are moving into your next senior role it is a big decision, and it’s hard to plan while working a demanding job. We talk through your experience, your options and your next step confidentially, and talk to you about roles that fit before they’re widely advertised.
Please do get in contact with us to discuss your education recruitment needs.
