NEW APPOINTMENT BOOSTS SERVICE OFFERING

Protocol National, the country’s leading provider of educational staff to the Further Education sector, has strengthened its recruitment team with the appointment of Mark Locking as Head of Recruitment Services.

The new Middle Management Recruitment service represents a further expansion of Protocol National’s work in permanent recruitment and will handle appointments to middle management roles such as team leaders and heads of department.

With a strong background in management and leadership positions within the FE sector, Mark also brings experience of recruitment and selection to the role, giving him an insight into both the needs of colleges and how to successfully meet them. His key role will be to launch and manage the Middle Management Recruitment Services team, which provides a specialist service for colleges.

Phil Harrison is the Chief Executive of Protocol National. He said, “The appointment of Mark to head up this division is an exciting step for Protocol National, and pushes forward the expansion plans of the company.

“We already deliver the most successful senior recruitment service in the college sector, so it makes sense for us to offer the same level of service, quality and confidence to those looking to recruit into middle management positions. Mark’s experience in both FE and recruitment roles made him an ideal match for the job.”

Prior to joining Protocol National, Mark worked at Boston College, Peterborough Regional College and Bedford College before moving to global recruitment firm DDI as Account Director. He then returned to the FE sector and most recently held the Assistant Head teacher position at Gleed Boys School.

Mark commented on his appointment, “Working for Protocol National will give me the opportunity to combine both the recruitment and selection process that I enjoy, together with my knowledge and understanding of the FE sector. The role will allow me to work with professional people across the whole college network which is particularly exciting.

“Protocol National enjoys an enviable reputation for appointing to a large variety of positions within education and I’m looking forward to building on this and creating an equally impressive Middle Management division.”

The Middle Management Recruitment Services division is just one of a number of added value services that Protocol National provides to FE colleges including Conferencing, Payroll Bureau, College Recovery and Permanent Recruitment.
