Expanding the service to show all school roles when searching for a job

Recently, we allowed hiring staff to start listing all school roles on the service.

To help people looking for jobs in schools we’ve made some changes to cater for a wider audience.

We are introducing 3 categories for the types of roles hiring staff can now list which will be reflected on the job search journey. These are:

Teaching
Teaching support
Non-teaching support

Changes to the job search journey include:

Introducing a new design to the job search filter
Showing all roles in the job search journey before filters are applied
Updating the job alerts sign up page to include all school roles
Updating the home page to include all school roles
A condensed job advert page for non-teaching support roles
Expanding the candidate profiles feature to anyone interested in working in a school

We have created our first mission patch dedicated to the release of all school roles.

# Changes to the job search journey

To ensure people can select the roles that are relevant to them, we have adopted the collapsible filter design present on the find a tuition partner service for job role categories.

This now allows jobseekers to select teaching, teaching support and non-teaching roles when looking for a job.

# Showing all roles in the job search journey

All types of roles will be visible on the search journey if filters are not applied. We will be monitoring the impact this has on teachers searching for roles to understand if seperating roles should be considered prior to filters being applied.

The job alerts page has been expanded to include all job roles and types. Anyone looking for a job in a school can now set up a job alert and be informed about any potential roles they may be interested in.

# Updating the home page to include all school roles

The service home page will eventually be updated to include all schools roles in the jobs by type of school and role accordion component once more jobs are listed on the service.

Where possible, some roles will show less information on the job advert page if it is not relevant to the role. For example, a non-teaching role in catering will not show if the role is suitable for early career teachers.

# Expanding the candidate profiles feature

The candidate profiles feature will now allow anyone looking for a job in a school to create a profile. This will allow hiring staff at schools to find relevant candidates for all school roles.

There are more posts about the candidate profiles feature in the candidate profiles category.
