How to apply

We shortlist our candidates against the criteria on the person specification section of the job description. We recommend that you address how you meet the person specification as part of your application. Try to do this by making sure that your application draws on your experience to provide relevant examples – this doesn’t always need to be from employment experience.

If you believe that you could add value to our organisation but don’t meet all of the essential criteria for the role, we would still love to hear from you. You can contact the recruiter to discuss the value you could bring to our organisation.

We will keep you updated on the progress of your application with us throughout the process.

Our process is tailored to the role that we’re recruiting, and we measure our success by the impact we make, so expect to bring your real-life skills into the recruitment process. From competency-based interviews, to teaching sessions and interactive assessments, this varies on the type of role you apply for, meaning that you will get the chance to show us exactly what you’re brilliant at doing.

At interview, you will be asked to bring proof of your right to work in the UK, along with evidence of any relevant qualifications.

We are a Disability Confident Leader, and you will have opportunity as part of your application to let us know if you would like your application to be considered under the Disability Confident scheme.

Where we have indicated the role is as part of this scheme, you will be guaranteed an interview where you meet the essential requirements of a role.

Read our Guidance and FAQs for Candidates who have a Disability or Long-term Health Condition before making an application as we can provide adjustments to ensure that candidates with a disability or those with a long-term health condition can participate on equal terms with non-disabled candidates.

We have a range of website accessibility options available on the right-hand side of the page. If you have any specific accessibility requests or would like to discuss reasonable adjustments, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

We are committed to giving support to members of the Armed Forces and veterans through our work on the Armed Forces Covenant and through our receipt of the Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award.

The aim of our Armed Forces Guaranteed Interview Scheme is to ensure that any members of the Armed Forces and veterans are not disadvantaged through the application process. Those who would like to have their application considered under the scheme will have opportunity to indicate this as part of their application.
