Jobs & Recruitment

Jobs At St Nicolas

From time to time we will advertise roles for which we are recruiting, usually through the Brighton & Hove council jobs bulletin. This page has information which may be of interest to potential candidates.

Safeguarding

The first priority of our recruitment is that we only appoint safe adults to work with our children. Additionally, it is important that every member of staff shares our vision and values. We want to make sure you are the right candidate for us but also that we are the right school for you.

Self-Disclosure Form

Any criminal offences will have been declared in the application form. Please bring your completed 'self-disclosure' form in a sealed envelope on the day of interview. The envelope should be marked 'Confidential Self-Disclosure Form' and have your name on it. Your envelope will only be opened once you have received a conditional offer. If your application is unsuccessful the envelope will be shredded unopened.

References

We normally ask for two references which should include the most recent job where you were working with children. We need to get a picture over a period of at least 5 years so if you have been employed in several short term jobs, for instance in several maternity covers, we will normally ask for more than the minimum of 2.

Interview

You will be asked to bring proof of identity to interview. This could be a photo ID such as a passport, drivers licence or school ID badge.

We are looking for a teacher who is committed to developing happy and confident learners within

At St Nicolas we are extremely fortunate to have extensive grounds and excellent facilities and to

and would like to join St Nicolas Primary School we would like to hear from you.

You will already be excellent at building relationships with children and their parents as well as
having a deep understanding of the way children learn.

If you are an Early Career Teacher you will be able to demonstrate excellent potential from your
teaching practices.

We would also be interested in hearing from ambitious teachers with excellent classroom skills
who feel they are ready to apply and train to become Specialist Leaders of Education in order to
coach and mentor other teachers and run training as part of the local Schools Alliance.

We consider our school to be an inclusive place of learning for everyone. We offer a highly
supportive and friendly staff team. We have successfully supported Early Career Teachers and
aspiring leaders of all levels to develop and improve. We provide a good environment to give you
