How long does the application process take?
The HR office never stops the application process. That means that new applicants are continually adding to the system. Ones that meet our criteria are highlighted as potential candidates. We ask teachers to make their decisions about the following school year prior to Christmas. That means that openings become firm about that time and as the recruiting fairs start we are ready to start hiring. However, the hiring process can run until the end of the year as final changes are made and as needs are identified.
A. Whilst this rather depends on the complexity of the proposal, as long as all the required information is provided at the outset, we can usually provide an agreement in principle within a few days. This may be subject to further clarification on specific issues and a site visit. Whilst we will always endeavour to process applications as quickly as possible, you should ensure that you approach us at the earliest opportunity and not leave it until the last minute. After all, it is a little unreasonable to expect us to properly assess a proposal in a few hours, when you have taken several months to assess it.
