Our process

Example questions we ask at interview

We implement a standardised interview template and competencies matrix for a fair and transparent process. Our standard interview questions include asking about:

  • What drew you to the Chartered College and this particular role, as well as the experience and skills you’ve gained to date
  • How you manage conflicting priorities, and tight budgets, while delivery high-quality work
  • What your support or development needs in order to thrive in this role are
  • Examples of how you’ve executed clear, persuasive and effective communication
  • Examples of how you’ve intentionally included diverse perspectives and/or a commitment to diversity and inclusion in a project or decision.
The job description was clear and also very inclusive with the wording used and the option to listen to an audio version. I also thought it was really helpful to have support on how to complete the cover letter.

I was given dedicated time during my induction period to meet people online and in person, bridging the staffroom gap and helping me build the relationships I was worried I would miss out on.
Jenna Crittenden
Teacher Advocacy Lead, Chartered College of Teaching
Regarding your interview process, everything was straightforward and transparent, and overall, it was a professional experience.

I am now able, if I need to, to change my working patterns so I can take care of doctor or hospital appointments when it is convenient for me and not have to worry about being absent for too long, or feeling like I am not doing my job.
Kieran Briggs
Data and Platforms Specialist, Chartered College of Teaching
The interview experience was really positive – you all came across as friendly and welcoming and I really liked that you gave a clear outline of the interview structure and what to expect.

Working remotely is not simply about having a work set-up at home rather than an office, but is about how an employer’s and employee’s approach to work adapts to this way of working.
Miriam Davey
Director of Service Operations, Chartered College of Teaching
The recruitment process was incredibly efficient. Having applied to many jobs, I truly appreciated the prompt responses and the clarity throughout each stage.
