My name is Shiv and I am the Branch Manager for the Manchester South Secondary Branch. I joined Teaching Personnel in June 2017. I have a number of family members and friends who work within the education sector as teachers, senior leaders and support staff, fuelling my passion for supporting educators and matching them with the perfect role within our partner schools.

My background, prior to joining Teaching Personnel was in supply chain, logistics and Operations Management. I was the Operations Manager at Deliveroo launching the North West building the rider community. I also worked as a Service Controller managing and organising engineers across the UK supporting a variety of contracts. These roles have stood me in great stead for a successful career here at Teaching Personnel, utilising my organisation skills when fulfilling the full 360 degree role as a Recruitment Consultant.

I started as a Trainee Consultant back in 2017 and worked my way up to Established, Senior and then Team Leader. I now manage the South Secondary Branch supporting and building relationships with schools in areas including Manchester City Centre, Tameside, Chorlton, Levenshulme, Trafford, Altrincham, Stockport and even Macclesfield/Cheshire East. We all take pride in providing high quality educators to schools being able to support across the entire range of staff that may be required within a secondary school.

An interesting fact about myself is that I went to high school age 10, incidentally completing my GCSEs aged 15 and then going to university aged 17!
