Our commitment to inclusive recruitment 

For education organisations to flourish, improve performance and genuinely represent the communities they serve – it’s essential that we seize the opportunity to develop a diverse workforce. 

We know that to make a lasting difference in the lives of children and young people, the very best talent from our society needs to be identified, supported and retained.

Our organisations perform better when they reflect the rich breadth and depth of our society – and we should be proud to bring together a dynamic combination of knowledge, skills and lived experience.

In practice, an inclusive approach to recruitment takes care and attention.  We are all stakeholders in the education system – so together we need to continue to challenge recruitment norms, processes, and behaviours.

We are committed to recruitment campaigns that are developed with inclusivity at their core, whilst keeping a resolute focus on the best choice of candidate for the post.

Pillars of an inclusive approach

1. Ensuring roles are designed and described clearly and accurately, removing hidden barriers that might inadvertently dissuade a great candidate from applying. 

2. Communicating a clear commitment to inclusivity throughout all recruitment marketing materials – showing as well as telling candidates that we are an open, inclusive employer.
