OUR CURRENT COURSE PROGRAMME
PLANNING YOUR OWN CAREER DEVELOPMENT PATH AND
RETIREMENT STRATEGY
FINDING THE RIGHT SOLUTION FOR YOU AND YOUR SCHOOL
A RESIDENTIAL COURSE AT HASSOP HALL COUNTRY HOUSE HOTEL BAKEWELL
18/19 MARCH 2010
These days, it’s never too early to be thinking about your
next career move. Whether you see your next step as a move into a full-time
executive role across a federation of schools, into a part-time senior
leadership role combined with more leisure time or with your own consultancy
business, or just into plain old-fashioned retirement, the range of options
available can be quite bewildering.
The key to success in all cases is advance planning. First, you need to
know about the range of possibilities available and about the financial
implications of each. Secondly, you need to develop a clear picture of
what’s right for you. Finally you need to make sure that all the
building blocks are in place to ensure that neither governors nor the
local authority can stand in the way of your chosen path – because
it’s self-evidently right for your school as well as for you.
Our course is directed by Nigel Middleton, a former headteacher who, in
the decade since he left headship, has developed Head Support into a company
with a national profile in the pay and conditions field. He will guide
you through the range of pensions options available and, if you want to
carry on working part-time, show you how to request a reduction in working
hours in a way your governors will find difficult to resist. He will give
you details of the work opportunities that are available in what is a
rapidly changing consultancy market – either employed by someone
else or developing and marketing your own niche product. He will advise
you on the various business start-up options available – sole trader,
partnership or limited company – and explain the intricacies of
VAT. And, if you are planning a move into executive headship, he will
help you make sure that you achieve the best possible personal terms.
Our residential course is set in a magnificent Georgian Country House
Hotel whose food and facilities are legendary amongst Derbyshire headteachers.
Bedrooms are available from 4pm on Thursday and the course itself begins
with welcome drinks at 6pm – followed by an introductory session
and four course dinner. The course fee of £425 plus VAT includes
confidential follow-up advice on any pensions issues from an experienced
senior LA personnel officer together with accommodation, meals and all
drinks provided with them.
You can book online and we will confirm your booking in
writing and send you full joining instructions
