It’s tempting to tell us all about your current job and everything you’ve done previously too; but we’re really interested to hear how you meet the criteria for our job – the one you’re applying for.

Completing your application form

Job title

Please enter these details on the application form so that we can identify which job you are applying for.  

Where did you see the job advertised

This is an essential requirement so that we know which methods of advertising are working for us. 

Employment history

All experience is valued and we recognise that many people have worked in a variety of situations even if it has not been full time paid employment.  Please list any work experience you have which you think would help you in the job for which you are applying, including voluntary work, temporary jobs, part-time or vacation work.

Education and training

Please use this section to provide details of any qualifications or training that you have completed or are currently undertaking.  Include any special skills training, day release, or evening classes.  You may be asked to provide proof of qualifications and training either at interview, or if you are offered the job.

Relevant experience

This is where you tell us how you meet the selection criteria for the job. Your application will be assessed against the criteria detailed in the person specification.  Do not repeat your job history, but look at the specific requirements of the job and provide evidence that you have the skills, abilities and experience to meet those requirements.  Give specific examples if possible.  The evidence you provide does not necessarily have be work based - it may be experience you have gained at home raising a family, doing voluntary work or from activities that you do in your spare time.

Schools are now required, as part of their shortlisting process to carry out an online search as part their due diligence. If shortlisted for the role an appropriate online search will be undertaken on your name(s). Any information given will be treated as confidential and will only be used in relation to the post for which you have applied.

I understand that an online search of publicly available information will be conducted on my name(s) if I am shortlisted for the above role, I am also aware that the school may want to explore anything they find with me at interview stage
