Commenting on the publication of Hays’ recruitment survey of the education sector, Paul Whiteman, General Secretary of school leaders’ union, NAHT said: 

“School business leaders are a vital part of the education workforce and so it is a real concern that so many are saying that their job satisfaction has worsened because of the pandemic.

“The report is another flashing light on the dashboard, which the Department for Education has complacently ignored for far too long. The findings further underline NAHT’s calls for the government to develop a comprehensive and holistic strategy for supporting a pipeline for school business leaders, for now and in the future.”
