What happens at an Assessment Centre?

An Assessment Centre is another term for interviewing several people at once both individually and in a group.  We are interested in attracting the widest range of candidates possible, so the questions we ask will focus on competencies that relate to the work we know you will do day to day.  We want to get to know you, you to get to know us and, importantly, we want to be clear about our organisational values and ethos, giving each of us an opportunity to make sure we are a good match.

Our selection process will let you showcase your life experience, your approach to working with vulnerable children and how you operate as part of a team.  The process is designed for us to get to know each other, and we provide everyone with the same questions for each role to reduce bias. 

You'll get a feel for the work, the ethos and culture of the school and its leadership.  We will make the experience as engaging and as fun as possible, you should be interviewing us, too!  We will be looking for and assessing against the key competencies we know will make you successful in the role (see below and via our current Vacancies Page for our job descriptions).
