<h3>How to Apply</h3>
We ask all applicants to apply through SAMpeople Recruit/Face-Ed; our recruitment software.

The good news is, you will only need to register for Face-Ed once to apply for any role in the Halliard Trust's 11 schools.
We ask all applicants to apply through SAMpeople Recruit/Face-Ed; our recruitment software.

The good news is, 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:
<ol>
<li>Because SAMpeople Recruit is cloud based software, it is possible for you to experience a break in connection and you won't necessarily know about it straight away. We therefore strongly recommend that you prepare your main application content in a different package like MS Word/Notepad and copy and paste it into your application form in the relevant sections.</li>
<li>If you get a message saying "Validation Error" it isn't a software fault. It means you have entered data in a format that wasn't expected and it is causing a problem with saving. This might mean you have entered words in a box that expects numbers, for example.</li>
