Overall the schools recruitment service will offer schools and local authorities a more efficient, standardised application system, automation of routine administrative processes, better intelligence around candidate behaviour and attraction, and informed media performance.  The result will be a more efficient, time effective and economical recruitment process.

Applicants will benefit from the new facility too. They will be able to take advantage of a more user-friendly, standardised system enabling easy download, completion and return of all forms.

The service has been developed after discussions with a wide range of stakeholders. Representatives from local authorities, schools, suppliers and departmental colleagues have all been involved in the development process. 

Local authorities and schools nationally have the opportunity to become early adopters of the new system and benefit from financial support during the first two years of the contract. Visit the website for full details.
