Using AI in your application
Robots need not apply. Human skills and authenticity is incredibly important in the work we do with young people. We want to hear your voice and personality in your application. AI is a tool, not a shortcut. This means not asking AI to do the work for you, or copying and pasting answers, as this limits the way you can showcase your personal experiences and strengths. AI doesn't know you or your work history, so use sparingly.
The best way to learn about our work is from our website, not AI. We receive many applications generated by AI platforms which often include incorrect information about our charity - providing incorrect or misinformation may mean we discount your application.
Safeguarding: We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing and welfare of children and we require everyone associated with The Talent Foundry Trust, including all trustees, employees, and volunteers to share this commitment.

For your CV: please include a note if you have any employment gaps and include the month + year on previous work experience. CVs without this information will be discounted. Please do not use AI to write the answers to your questions - we want to hear your voice and personality in your answers.
Talent is everywhere, opportunity is not. The Talent Foundry, a UK education charity, bridges this gap and improves social mobility for young people.
