Recruitment Events
Throughout the year we host and attend many careers events across the country in collaboration with our local Teaching School Hubs. We find they are a great opportunity to meet prospective candidates for the many roles we have on offer in schools across the county.
At these events we find ourselves answering questions on:
-
How to get into education sector roles.
-
What it is like to work in a school.
-
How we can help you find the role of your dreams.
If you would like to come and speak with us you can find all of the events we will be attending or organising below, with sign up links included where possible.
So come and join us for a chat and see how we can best help you!
