I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Teach First (London, England) in Jan 2021
Interview
Assessment Centre - Interview, Case Study and 8-minute lesson.
Was successful at interview but it was all downhill from there. The recruitment team just messed me around from day one, I was required to send across my CRB information, Qualifications and CV etc, which I did instantly but the recruitment team spent 3 weeks emailing me saying this and that was missing when I had sent it across 3-4 times already. I finally received a congratulations email on a Thursday and 3 days later on Monday, they sent me an email saying they were unable to match me with a school and the deadline for schools had passed. Got my hopes up, messed me for weeks and then shot me down in 3 days.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you've had to make a difficult decision
The interview was a day-long assessment day with a number of different activities. It was during COVID 19, therefore it was run online. They were very good with access needs.
Online interview over zoom which was fairly relaxed
Also had to prepare a presentation on a topic to give during the interview
There were also two roleplay sessions where the interviewer would pretend to be a student
