New Director of Services at the Education Support Partnership

NATIONAL charity, Education Support Partnership has appointed Sinéad Mc Brearty to the position of Director of Services.

The appointment comes as the charity announces plans to double its income to £5.7m over the next four years in response to an increasing demand for its services. Currently the organisation works with over 600 education institutions to improve workplace culture and wellbeing – a figure it wants to treble over the next four years.

In 2017, the charity’s teacher support helpline managed 8,668 cases, representing a 35% annual increase. In addition, applications to its confidential grants service also increased by 40%, with staff struggling to pay housing costs and experiencing other forms of financial difficulty.

Speaking of her appointment, Sinéad said:

“As a school governor I’ve seen the relentless pressure on the education sector. I’m delighted to have the opportunity to do something to support the individual educators that make up the system. Their wellbeing is directly correlated to learning outcomes for children. I can’t think of a better way to use my skills and experience.”

Julian Stanley, CEO of Education Support Partnership, said:

“We are delighted to welcome Sinéad to the team. Her appointment will ensure we continue to successfully develop and expand our services and achieve the maximum possible impact for the educators and organisations we support. . This is an exciting period of growth for us, which will require us to be pro-active moving forward and Sinead is just the person to help us achieve this.”
