Updating all school roles categories

We expanded the service to allow hiring staff to list all school roles. We also expanded the service to show all school roles when searching for a job.

We received feedback about the phrasing of ‘non-teaching’ and categorisation of the new roles across the service.

While schools appreciated the expansion to cover all education roles, we did receive some feedback that:

the name ‘Teaching Vacancies’ may limit the appeal of all education roles on the service
the term ‘non-teaching’ might be perceived as dismissive to roles outside of teaching
the categorisation of roles was confusing, especially leadership and support roles

# Action taken from feedback

Based on this feedback, we reviewed and updated our service to better cater to all education roles and ensure a more inclusive and clear user experience.

# Revised role categories:

We changed:

‘non-teaching’ and ‘teaching support’ to group them into a single ‘support’ category to provide a more cohesive experience
the ‘teaching’ category to ‘teaching and leadership’ to better reflect senior roles in teaching
the ‘other leadership roles’ category so it sits within the ‘teaching and leadership’ category to better reflect user feedback and expectations of where this role type should be
