Teach in Herts is the dedicated platform for jobs in education and childcare, with more than 700 of the county’s schools, trusts and settings using the platform as their primary recruitment resource and over 50,000 visitors per month. The site lists around 10,000 vacancies every year across four main categories: teaching, leadership, early years and professional and support.
Recognising the need for a more streamlined application process, Teach in Herts has worked to simplify and enhance the experience for both Catholic schools and for their prospective candidates. This improvement ensures that the unique data capture requirements of Catholic schools are met while making the process easier for applicants.
Developed in close partnership with the CES, this advancement allows Catholic institutions to manage their recruitment seamlessly through the platform, eliminating the need for downloadable application forms. These forms, which are often time-consuming, have been replaced by a CES-approved online application form. This form automatically populates candidate’s information from their profile, reducing the time required to complete each application and increasing the likelihood of submission.
Carole Bennett, CEO of HFL Education said: “I am delighted that we have worked together with the Catholic Education Service in order to enable our Catholic school colleagues to benefit from a streamlined recruitment service with Teach in Herts. We at HFL are never prouder than when we work with our partners to help improve the quality of teaching and learning - and strong recruitment is critical to the strength and success of schools, trusts and settings.”
Paul Barber, CES Director, said: “The CES has been pleased to work with HFL Education to ensure that its application forms are suitable for use in Catholic schools. It is important that the CES provides support to enable Catholic schools to attract the best candidates for roles in their schools.”
