Our Team
Founder & Director
Sunita Nahar brings with her a wealth of experience across the care, education sector, and recruitment fields. With a degree in Child, Adolescence, and Family Studies as her foundation, she has dedicated over two decades to enhancing job fulfillment within the education sector. Sunita's professional journey has encompassed a diverse array of roles, including recruitment manager, care coordinator, play worker manager, outreach worker, recruitment and development officer, cover supervisor, pastoral tutor, childcare assessor, nursery nurse, and teaching assistant. This extensive background allows her to understand the education sector and its need for qualified personnel thoroughly.
The inception of Placing People Direct was driven by Sunita's profound desire to channel her extensive learning experiences back into the education sector and the broader society.
Business Development Manager
Claire Longworth has held a diverse range of roles over the years across various operational, business, and non-profit contexts, all of which span the education sector. By identifying her transferable skills and the aspects of her roles that provided her the most job fulfillment, Claire decided to retrain to focus on business development and digital marketing.
Now working for Placing People Direct, Claire channels her multifaceted skill set to assist individuals striving to re-enter the workforce or create new career paths. She thrives on the opportunity to empower others by leveraging her own experience and expertise, thereby contributing to the pool of qualified personnel in the job market.
Beyond her professional pursuits, Claire volunteers for a bird rescue. Those who engage with her virtually are likely to notice the presence of one or more parrots, who 'diligently oversee' her work during Zoom or Teams calls.
