How to Apply
We ask all applicants to apply through SAMpeople Recruit/Face-Ed; our recruitment software. This enables us to efficiently carry out our safer recruitment checks, but it can take some time for the applicant. You will only need to register for Face-Ed once to apply for any role in the Halliard Trust's 11 schools. Our tips for a painless process are as follows: 1. Because SAMpeople Recruit is cloud-based software, there can be a break in connection and you won't necessarily know about it straight away. We therefore recommend preparing your main application content in a separate package (e.g., MS Word) and copy-pasting into the application form. 2. If you see a message saying "Validation Error", it usually means data was entered in an unexpected format and may cause saving issues. We reserve the right to extend, withdraw or close vacancies at any time and without notice.
