The Organisation
Christ the King Sixth Forms (CTK) is a group of 3 highly successful Catholic sixth forms – Aquinas, Emmanuel, and St Mary’s – located in South East London and Kent. Established in 1992, CTK’s sixth forms offer exceptional, expert teaching in a welcoming, friendly atmosphere. Each sixth form creates an environment where high achievement is promoted and attained. CTK’s vision goes beyond academic achievements, aiming to create a well-rounded, self-aware, motivated, and knowledgeable young person who can contribute to society.
The Brief
Following the resignation of the Human Resources Manager, the decision was made to create a new role of Director of Human Resources. FE Associates were engaged to provide search and attraction for CTK, and we received a very clear outline of the role requirements, skills, and attributes that CTK required in a candidate to undertake the role successfully. CTK were seeking operational and technical experience to deliver a full HR service with the strategic objective of creating a new people strategy for the organisation.
The Candidate Base
Our initial engagement with the candidate market generated 35 individuals for us to follow up with further discussion. Following preliminary discussions and an objective first-stage assessment, we received 6 applications.
The Selection Process
The 6 applicants were presented to CTK through application forms and recorded first-stage interviews. This was then followed by a shortlisting meeting led by our lead consultant. The shortlisting panel decided to invite 3 candidates to interview.
The Outcome
Louise Richardson was successfully appointed to the role, taking up the post in December 2022. Louise previously held the role of Senior Human Resource Manager for Schools for the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
