If you have to go ‘low trust’ make it attractive!
• Is this a job I’d like to do?
• Does it meet my current needs (income, location, ethical values, flexibility)?
• Is this a place I’d like to work in?
• Where it will take my career?
• What evidence is there that this is true?
• Does the school use ‘you’?
‘We value and nurture our staff, and put professional development at the centre of our work - would you like to join our team of excellent practitioners?
‘We wish to appoint an outstanding Teacher of Maths to join our expanding department. The ability to teach Maths at a high standard across the key stages is essential’

• ‘I’ve already got a job’
• ‘I can only manage 1 or two applications a week’
• ‘I don’t want to have to tell my current school I’m looking’
• ‘I’ve already applied to several schools –let’s see their response first’
• ‘I can’t make the advertised interview dates’
• ‘I applied to that school last year and they didn’t get back to me’
