Hello 2023!

Happy New Year and welcome to the 3rd edition of the Clarus Chronicle!

Clarus Highlights

December was a great month!

We have continued to place fantastic candidates into various roles across our client schools, from admin staff to permanent teacher roles. We wish everyone well for the new term in their exciting new positions!

We got into the Christmas spirit by joining in with Christmas Jumper Day and also by offering a glimpse into the teams' home decor with our Clarus Christmas Cribs series- check out our main page for the pictures!

Although the train strikes threatened to put out Christmas Party plans in jeopardy, we refused to give in! Eventually most of the team did manage to get together for some good food, great company and a highly entertaining evening at La Clique; where we may have got more than we bargained for!

This month we get to know Senior Consultant, Chloe Johnson a little better!

Why education recruitment? I taught in primary schools for nearly twelve years and was ready to utilise that knowledge in a different sector.

Describe yourself in three words: Happy, Caring and family-orientated

Clarus Focus

It may be a new year but Clarus can promise the same fantastic service in 2023. Our team are busy recruiting for live staff vacancies and gearing up for the Teacher Recruitment drive. We'll be working with client schools on permanent teaching vacancies for April and September 2023, so do check out our live vacancies if you are looking for a new opportunity in 2023!

One of the Clarus values is Social Responsibility and we take great pride in being able to give back to the community. Look out for news on upcoming charity initiatives from the company as a whole. We'd also like to give a shout out to our Senior Compliance Officer, Ellen O'Shea, who will be taking part in a 26 mile hike across London at the end of the month to raise money for #cancerresearchuk . We wish her well and if you would like to support, you can do so here.

Wishing you all an amazing start to the New Year!
