Recruitment Process
This section provides you with information on our online application form.
All applications are submitted electronically via our online application system. All vacancies are advertised on our website.
When completing your application, please ensure that you look at the job description and person specification carefully; demonstrating how you meet the requirements of the role within the person specification document that you upload to your application form.
You will receive an automated acknowledgement email to confirm receipt of your application.
All vacancies show a closing date. Unless otherwise stated, the deadline is midnight on the closing date.
On occasion we receive significantly more applications than expected for some vacancies and under such circumstances we reserve the right to bring forward the closing date of the advertisement.
We therefore strongly advise you to apply for the role promptly to avoid disappointment should the closing date be brought forward.
We operate a talent pool scheme whereby candidates who are not successful on this occasion may be considered for a period of up to three months for similar position.
Applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application via email (usually within three weeks of the closing date).
We accept CV’s for certain roles. Please see individual adverts for details.
In line with Keeping Children Safe in Education statutory guidance, we only accept CVs alongside the completion of an application form.
