Local Education Authorities and their schools, like many organisations, will on occasions temporarily lack capacity or capability. We believe that when this happens customers looking for interim managers or other temporary placements want to deal with a company that will:

• Offer a speedy and responsive service
• Have a real understanding of customer needs and the posts they want filled
• Thoroughly vet its potential interim managers so that quality can be assured
• Only offer an interim manager who has the experience and skills to fill the vacancy and who will fit well into the customer’s own organisation
• Support the interim manager throughout his or her assignment unobtrusively but effectively.

Cocentra's approach

We offer a specialised education service to provide interim managers and other staff in LEAs and into senior positions in schools. This might have arisen because of the resignation of an existing member of staff, a re-organisation, the requirement to undertake a one-off project, or an increase in workload, perhaps as a result of new local or national education initiatives.

Cocentra has immediate capacity and capability in a number of areas. These include:

• Leadership at Director level
• Leadership at Assistant Director level in LEA policy and planning, children’s services, finance and school improvement divisions
• School improvement at LEA and school level
• School leadership and management
• Behaviour support (from mainstream through to secure units)

This list is not exhaustive so do contact us if your skills or capacity gap does not appear to be covered in this list.
