Use of AI in your application

We are happy for candidates to use AI tools to help prepare their application. However, your application should accurately reflect your own skills, knowledge and experience, and you should be comfortable discussing your experience in detail at interview.

We are interested in hearing about your experience in your own voice, so if using AI, please use it to support your application rather than replace it.

Employment is with Corvus Learning Trust and not Bracknell Forest Council. The trust is very popular and for most posts a large number of applications are received - it is thus not possible to notify all applicants of the outcome. Please accept that if you have not heard within three weeks of the closing date then, unfortunately, your application has been unsuccessful - in which case we offer our best wishes for the future.
