About us
<a href="https://www.halliardtrust.com/careers-2/careers/" target="_blank">Why Work For Halliard? – Halliard Trust</a>
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 we recognise it can take some time for the applicant. 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 top tips for a painless process are as follows:
<ol>
<li>Because Face-Ed 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 Face-Ed 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>
</ol>
Why work for the Halliard Trust?
Who we are
We educate over 5,000 children and employ 900 teaching and support staff to deliver our vision to ensure every student leaves school with the values, skills, qualities and aptitudes to thrive in society combined with highest possible learning outcomes.
