I interviewed at Smile Education (Walsall, England)
Interview
Over zoom, really friendly, professional and put my mind at ease with regards to what would happen moving forward. Quick process and managed to get me re-enrolled within the week.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Safeguarding question (mandatory) to work in schools
Given two stages of assessments in-person, with group presentations and role-playing simulations. Do not let the 'trainee' title confuse you, as they essentially want a finished product for the role. Any real sense of being trained within this role is untrue. The workplace culture felt to me, pretty hectic and toxic too.
Quick and easy sign up for agency work. Thorough as well. Interviewer asked what kind of agency jobs I’d be interested in, e.g. primary or secondary school teaching assistant jobs, college personal tutor, locations preferred and more.
