The closing date, and where possible the recruitment day, are given in the advertisement or vacancy information. Shortlisting typically takes place within 2-3 days of the closing date/time and you could expect to hear from us shortly after this has taken place – and contact with those to be invited will often be by phone initially.
All candidates are interviewed and assessed against the criteria set out in the job description and person specification, which can be found within the Vacancy Information Booklet for the role.
All employment offers are made subject to checks in line with the Independent Schools Inspectorate and National Minimum Boarding Standards legislation. These are as follows: clearance from the Disclosure and Barring Service; Overseas Police checks (if applicable); satisfactory Department for Education and Barred List checks (including prohibition from Teaching and Management, if applicable); evidence of the right to work in the UK; satisfactory references; medical clearance.
The time this takes can vary but typically it can take up to 6 weeks. As we take compliance and child protection very seriously here at College, therefore, in most circumstances you will not be able to start with us until all checks are completed.
As a minimum you will be interviewed to assess your fit to the person specification for the role. Other assessment tasks or activities will very much depend upon the role that you have applied for – but you will be given full details of these before the interview date. We aim to provide an opportunity to you to understand as much about the role and working at College as possible and therefore relevant opportunities to meet with potential colleagues etc are often included in the timetable.
You should also expect for us to undertake a 'safeguarding' interview, in order for us to be confident of your suitability to work with (or around) children. This applies to all roles at College.
