With so much love for her school and all that she’d achieved in her teaching career, Co-Headteacher Charlotte made the difficult decision to pursue a career change after “feeling depleted rather than energised.” 

Now in a brand new (recently promoted!) role as ‘Assistant Director, Programme Leader’ for a leading educational CPD organisation, Charlotte shares her journey to experiencing joy and passion for a new sector. In this episode, she talks about finding a job that encompasses some of the ‘best bits’ of teaching, utilises all of her amazing leadership skills, and gives her so much more flexibility to enjoy time with her family. 

We also explore:

• Exiting from senior leadership roles - and the additional challenges this can present!
• Stepping away confidently
• Using supply as a ‘safety net’
• Networking to explore the reality of new roles
• Building an amazing CV and cover letter
• Trust and confidence in a new role 
• Working in a new way 
• Top tips for getting into programme management - from a hiring manager!
