Application Process
Internal applicants: if applying for a role in a different Pickwick School, nominate the Headteacher from the school you currently work in. If applying within your current school, nominate a senior leader who is not the Headteacher (e.g., Deputy Headteacher, Assistant Headteacher, or the Director of Education for the school). For central team roles, nominate a senior leader from the central team or from the Trust school you are currently working in. External applicants: you should nominate your line manager. If you have previously worked in a school, this reference must come from the Headteacher. Contact us if you have used My New Term previously for a Pickwick Academy Trust vacancy; please update your current workplace details, references and responsibilities.

Safeguarding
Pickwick Academy Trust is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all staff, governors, trustees and volunteers to share this commitment. This role is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. All applicants must disclose any criminal convictions, cautions, warnings or reprimands, even if spent. An enhanced DBS check will be undertaken before and a requirement for commencement of any employment. References will be requested at the short‑listing stage for all roles and may be used during the interview process. If any of your previous employment includes working with children, one referee must be from that role, regardless of whether it is your current or most recent position. If you currently work in a Pickwick Academy School, please nominate your current Headteacher. All gaps in employment must be accounted for and explained in the relevant section of the application form. In accordance with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) 2025 and our safer recruitment procedures, an online search will be carried out for all shortlisted candidates. This search will involve reviewing publicly available information to help assess a candidate’s suitability to work with children. Further guidance will be provided to shortlisted candidates if they may be asked to clarify aspects of their online presence.
