Stage 2

Interview

All interviews at The College will require candidates to have a formal interview, this is normally conducted with the line manager, a member of our HR team, and a member of the team that the vacancy is from.

If you are applying for a lecturing position, you will usually be required to deliver a 15-20 minute microteach, alongside a formal interview as part of the process. For your microteach, you will be asked to deliver a lesson on a topic given to you, to a small group of learners. We will give you a summary of the learner ability levels, along with full access to our classroom equipment and technology.

If you are unable to attend the date given, please contact us as soon as possible by replying to the invitation email, or phoning us on 01554 748000. Whilst we cannot guarantee that we can offer an alternative date, we will explore the availability of the interview panel to find a suitable alternative, if possible.
