Primary Advantage usually holds interviews for Teachers in January each year.

Please note that applicants who have applied for a post that has been managed by Primary Advantage will be contacted within two weeks of applying to inform them of whether they have been shortlisted for interview. We will then discuss a suitable date for the applicant to attend. Once you have had your interview, your interview panel will decide if you are appointable.

Appointable candidates are held in a pool. During this period, school vacancies start to become known and as vacancies arise, schools will choose suitable candidates from the pool to fill the vacancies and will make an offer at that stage.

Their offer decisions will be based on the needs of the school aligned with the preference of the prospective Employee around school and key stage.

It is understood and accepted that during this period, the candidate may attend interviews outside of the federation and accept a role elsewhere. If this is the case, candidates are requested to inform the federation at the earliest opportunity. The latest date at which you will be informed of a firm offer of a position would be the first week of June.
