Please Note: Receipt of an application will be acknowledged by email. Subsequently, if you have not been contacted within one week of the shortlisting date, you should assume that your application has been unsuccessful.
It is our policy to take up references for shortlisted applicants from their present Local Authority or Academy Trustees. It would greatly assist this process if you were able to supply e-mail addresses for all referees on your application form. Applicants currently employed by Liverpool LA should note that it is not the LA policy to supply references for Deputy Headteachers for headship posts unless the applicant has personally requested they do so.
Applicants will be asked to produce original certificates for all education qualifications stated in the application form prior to the appointment being confirmed (these will be asked for on the first day of the interviews). All appropriate safeguarding and attendance at work checks will be requested.
