Meet the team
At Unity Education, our team is our greatest asset. Each member brings a wealth of experience and a passion for making a positive difference in education.
Harvey Buisson
Co-founder & Director
As the Cofounder & Director at Unity Education, I bring nearly a decade of experience in recruitment and seven years in the education sector. My expertise lies in matching the right teachers with the right schools, ensuring a seamless and fully compliant recruitment process. Throughout my career, I’ve worked at three different recruitment companies across various industries, learning invaluable lessons on what to do—and what not to do. This knowledge inspired my cofounders and me to create Unity Education, a company we can be proud of. Our priority is always our candidates and clients.
Personal Interests:
Outside of work, my fiancé and daughter are my world. I spend most of my time at swing parks, soft play areas, and watching Peppa Pig! I also enjoy dining out, going to the cinema, and cheering for Arsenal.
Favourite Film:
Anything Marvel, but if I had to choose, it would be ‘Avengers: Endgame.’
Notable Achievements:
Professionally, my biggest achievement is cofounding Unity Education. Personally, my greatest accomplishment is becoming a dad in 2023.
Why do candidates and clients want to work with me?
I focus on building long-term relationships with my clients, understanding their needs and wants. I don’t just match a candidate’s qualifications with a job title; I consider their experience, strengths, weaknesses, and personality to ensure a perfect cultural fit and alignment with my clients’ requirements.
Megan Cleary
Co-founder & Director
With over nine years of experience in education recruitment, my co-founder and I aim to create something unique and meaningful that we can take pride in. We want to support our community of educators, build connections, and offer a service in align with your needs.
Personal Interests:
Making memories with my loved ones, dancing the night away with a cocktail in my hand, sun, sea and sand and long walks with scenic views.
Favourite film:
This is a hard one, so many great movies! I’d have to go with freedom writers, the notebook and the Hangover movies.
Notable Achievements:
My biggest personal achievement has been jumping 1300ft out of a plane to raise money for Mind charity and my biggest professional achievement was creating Unity education and building something special.
Why do candidates and clients want to work with me?
I pride myself on delivering a reliable, transparent, and open service with all, acting with integrity above all else. They know I’ll always go above and beyond to provide the best service possible and help in any way I can.
I appreciate and value the people I work with and understand the importance of every job role in education. It’s more than business, we build connections, create solutions, and offer a listening ear after a bad day.
