Can I submit my CV aswell as an attached file?
Certainly, while submitting an application form, including a CV is optional. If the application form is completed thoroughly with all pertinent details, a CV is not a mandatory requirement.

Do I need to answer all the questions on the application?
Absolutely, a comprehensive application form enables us to assess each candidate impartially. Should you have any uncertainties about a particular question, feel free to reach out to the Recruitment Team for additional guidance.

What happens to my application once I’ve applied?
Upon receiving your application, it undergoes review by the appropriate shortlisting panel. We promote a prompt process, urging our hiring managers to complete shortlisting within 3-5 working days after the vacancy deadline. At this juncture, all candidates are notified regarding their interview invitation status.

Can I apply for more than one job?
Yes, you can. 

If I am unsuccessful can I reapply for another job?
Certainly, you have the option to do so. Nonetheless, it is advisable to thoroughly review your initial application. Assess whether it contains sufficient information and effectively communicates to the hiring managers why you are a suitable fit for the role. If not, take the opportunity to provide additional details, elaborating on your skills and experience.

I’m an Early Career Teacher. Can I apply for all teaching roles?
Definitely! We invite applications from both early career teachers and those with more experience for all our teaching positions, unless otherwise indicated in the advertisement. We take pride in the numerous teachers who have started their journey with the Trust as newly qualified teachers and have subsequently advanced to become outstanding educators and essential members of our leadership teams.

Will joining FST affect my terms and conditions and pension?
Like most multi-academy trusts, we have made a decision to pay our teachers in line with the Standard Pay and Conditions Document and to award increases in line with national levels. Most of our terms and conditions relating to absence and leave are in line with national standards. With regard to pensions, your pension is exactly the same with the Trust as it would be with a local authority; either Teachers’ Pension Scheme or Local Government Pension Scheme for support staff.
