Hi, I’m Kellie…

…Director of Appoint-Ed, and education recruitment specialist.

Since 2009, I’ve helped school and MAT leaders secure the talent they’ve been unable to attract on their own.

I enjoy recruiting for schools and managing the entire process, but I'm particularly passionate about collaborating with schools to review and redesign their internal recruitment strategies.

I love sharing my expertise with forward-thinking leaders, whether through 1:1 consultancy projects, or my online course.

Kellie Gordon Appoint-ED Manchester

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).

Despite the talent crisis, solutions exist for leaders who are ready to challenge the status quo and push for change.

Every school deserves a team of talented, impact-making people.

Together we can fix education recruitment.
