The Schools Recruitment Service is designed to help teachers, newly qualified teachers and support staff applying for permanent jobs in schools, and to support schools and local authorities in recruiting staff.
The system was devised in partnership with the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF), local authorities, schools and suppliers. It uses online applicant tracking technology to provide a user-friendly, efficient service.
Applicants will benefit from an easy, standardised online application system, and recruiters will benefit from better market and media intelligence, improved candidate to job matches, and savings on time, resources and money.
The service is due for launch in early 2009. Schools and local authorities in England are invited to become early adopters and benefit from financial support during the first two years of the contract.
Although the service is not yet ready for individual approaches, anyone interested can follow developments on the DCSF standards site.
