It would also be helpful to the panel if applicants were able to provide information on availability and which locations in Shetland they would be willing to work.
Applications are invited to join our relief bank to provide support in our schools, nurseries, and out-of-school clubs across Shetland. Members of the relief bank will be contacted on an 'as and when required' basis to provide cover, for example due to staff absence.
Applications will be assessed against the criteria in the Person Specifications for the posts. Suitable applicants will be invited to interview and recruitment checks such as references, PVG Scheme membership, verification of qualifications, and proof of eligibility to work in the UK will be carried out before applicants are placed on the relief bank.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
If you apply online we will contact you by e-mail so please check for messages regularly.
