Our HR Coordinator, Jess, recently attended a fantastic Careers fair at the University of Greenwich. The event was hosted at their very busy student union centre and gathered the attention of 300+ students, from 1st-year to those completing their master's degrees and PhDs. Jess enjoyed engaging with people with such a wide range of skills and interests, from English and Maths to biomedicine and mechanical engineering, with many of them eager to learn about the opportunities we offer. From our train-to-teach opportunities to our current support role vacancies within our schools and the central team, it was great to see so many young people expressing interest in sharing their skills and looking for careers in educating others. We are excited to already be having meetings with candidates we met at the fair last week and we hope they will be joining our Trust soon.
