COVID Safe job Interviews

At Apex Education Recruitment, we have tailored our interview process with safety at the core throughout the COVID pandemic.  We are always monitoring best practise keeping everyone safe as our top priority without compromising ‘Safer Recruitment & child safeguarding’.

We are currently recruiting heavily for January 2021 positions in schools; rest assured our interview process has COVID safe measures in place to keep everyone as safe as possible.

Once you apply, your first telephone interview may be more in depth as we are not looking at any face-face contact during the lockdown period.

Once shortlisted you will be invited to the second phase of our interview process – currently online. Please don’t be phased we will support you as the online interviews can be more daunting (and we will help with any technology to get you started ?)

After lockdown we will return at some point to face-to-face interviews.

It is your interview process and we are looking for the passionate and right skilled candidates to work with special needs students, make the most of it.
