Recruiting new teachers

 In a detailed job advertisement, it’s important to describe the job and the kind of person you are looking for. 

The Job Description describes the job, ideally in one sentence, lists the main duties and responsibilities, and also describes the scope of the job: this can include the resources, equipment and budget.

The Person Specification is a profile of the personal skills, knowledge, qualifications, and experiences you’ll be looking for amongst applicants.

Encourage Ts to keep their own record and build up a CPD journal.
