Recruitment and Human Resource Management

---

There are a range of different types of school reviews, such as internal mid-point reviews for leadership roles as well as cyclical, external whole school reviews.  Any review is a complex collection of planning, data collection and collation, collaboration and feedback and Jo has experience in coordinating and facilitating both middle-leaders reviews, annual review meetings and school review processes. 

A feature of the service provided by JHAMeducation is the customisation of the review or appraisal to meet your needs and budget. Key features of education reviews are links to AITSL standards, multiple data points, and a 360 approach. JHAMeducation will work with you to plan, develop, and deliver any type of review.

Here is what some middle leaders have said about their formative review process: 

"I really appreciate the effort you have put into this process, which I have found the most rewarding and useful review I have participated in" 

"Thanks for the valuable and informative discussions during the process. I appreciate your insight and recommendations greatly"

Applying for jobs in the 21st century can be daunting, regardless of the industry. Having a concise, but informative CV, strong application letter and being interview ready are important steps in the recruitment process. 

JHAMeducation offers customised support for all levels of the job seeking process.  If you are applying for your first professional job, and don't know how to set your application apart from all the others, or you get nervous preparing for interviews, we can help you feel confident and ready. Perhaps you are considering a change in role, stepping up a level, or exploring new pathways.  Having a conversation with an accredited coach, with extensive experience on interview panels, can be just the thing to help you access the tools and language that will give you confidence and clarity to present the best version of you to any prospective employer.

Here's what on client had to say about this service:

Working with Jo has been such a valuable experience. From our initial meeting, she took the time to understand my concerns and fears and help me focus on my attributes and the value that I can offer to a future employer. She helped me identify my strengths, core values and what truly motivates me, which gave me the clarity and confidence I’d been missing for so long. Most importantly, Jo taught me how to convey my strengths to future recruiters and employers.

Jo’s guidance and support were exactly what I needed to move forward in my career search. She also helped refine my CV so that it was concise and truly reflected my skills and experience. Her caring and methodical approach helps puts everything in perspective. I highly recommend Jo to anyone who needs clarity, direction and support moving forward in their careers and/or other business/personal situations that require clarity and direction.  I can’t thank her enough for her encouragement, insight and genuine care — she’s made such a positive difference and I’m now looking forward to my next chapter.

Do you need an external panel member for your recruitment interviews? Jo Hammer has years of experience in staffing and recruitment in both the food service industry and in education. In the education world this includes graduates, general teaching positions, middle and senior leadership and non-teaching staff.  Jo has interviewed hundreds of potential employees for casual, contract and ongoing positions and brings a friendly, objective and well-honed interview style to any team.

Ongoing professional learning and development is vital for staff engagement and growing their capacity. Professional Development Plans (PDPs) enable staff to track and share their professional development experiences, and a school-wide approach ensures consistency in both the what and the how.

Do you have a process or framework for your staff professional development? In the education setting, PD hours are essential for registration and accreditation, and whilst it is the responsibility of the individual to keep track of their PL / PD hours, organisations that facilitate this demonstrate to their staff that they value this important aspect of the profession.

JHAMeducation can assist in establishing or improving professional development frameworks that suit your school setting, taking into consideration your school's strategic intent and expectations.
