How to apply
We ask all applicants to apply through Face-Ed; our recruitment software. This enables us to efficiently carry out our safer recruitment checks. The good news is, you will only need to register for Face-Ed once to apply for any role in the Trust's 10 schools.
Our top tips for a painless process are as follows:
* Because Face-Ed is cloud based software, it is possible for you to experience a break in connection and you won't necessarily know about it straight away. We therefore strongly recommend that you prepare your main application content in a different package like MS Word/Notepad and copy and paste it into your Face-Ed application form in the relevant sections.
* If you get a message saying "Validation Error" it isn't a software fault. It means you have entered data in a format that wasn't expected and it is causing a problem with saving. This might mean you have entered words in a box that expects numbers, for example.
Qualifications
* Current First Aid qualification: Desirable
* GCSE Maths and English grade 4-9 (A-C) or equivalent: Essential
