Janne Pender

The non-teacher of the group, Janne’s experience is in human resource management, training and organisation development. Because of her background she has been able to use her skills to support School Boards in areas such as recruitment and selection of principals, performance planning and review, managing staff and developing teams, 

Janne has worked in schools both primary and secondary, not only in the human resource area but also carrying out needs analysis in relation to support staff. Schools are ever changing places and often they find that roles are no longer right sized or even required.  Using a well-developed model Janne will carry out an analysis of the structure, reporting lines and roles and make recommendations.

Experienced as a member of a Board of Trustees and in more recent years as a chair of three school proprietor boards she can provide support to chairs and members of School Boards. 

Along with colleagues she played a significant part in the development of an in-depth programme to identify and develop future principals.

• Principal recruitment and selection
• Performance management
