Application and Selection Process

Applicants shortlisted for a Scale 2-3 role will be observed leading a 20 minute activity, with a small group of about 6 children.

Applicants shortlisted for a Scale 4 or Scale 5 role will be observed teaching a 30-minute, whole-class lesson in a core subject. Applicants for a Scale 4 or Scale 5 role will be expected to submit and discuss their plan for the lesson.

Successful applicants for all roles will be invited to a panel interview.

The selection process is the same for the Scale 4 and Scale 5 roles. This means that applicants may be considered for both roles within the same application and process.

Please indicate within your application which role(s) you wish to be considered for.

You are welcome to arrange an informal visit or telephone conversation with the Headteacher prior to applying.
Please email vacancies@elsley.brent.sch.uk to arrange.
