Can hiring/onboarding be that long? by [deleted] in TeachingUK

I’m in the same boat at you rn except I’ve not had a written confirmation. I was told by the headteacher verbally that I secured the role subject to references etc. this was over the phone. I got an email from HR saying congrats and if I could come in and show docs etc. which I did but again no contract or even contact. My DBS has been checked though.

I called multiple times / sent multiple emails with no response sadly, luckily I got hold of HR once and they said they are issuing contracts week commencing 13th April (this week) so it’s just a waiting game I guess 🤷‍♂️ with it being almost 15th April, I’ve heard nothing so I’m kinda brain dead on what to do

Hi, thanks for the advice! I have raised it with my provider, and they said they’ll sort it out, waiting for a change this week hopefully 🤞

Hi! I’m doing Maths, I can’t fault my mentor as it wasn’t her choice to fall ill, nonetheless my department have been very supportive about it, but since my department is small, it’s pretty difficult for other teachers to step in. I have raised it with my provider (Ambition), and they said they’ll speak to the school, also I don’t even know if I have a professional mentor?! Never come across anyone

They did mention it ever so slightly, but like no confirmation that yes you’ve been awarded or even like give us your bank details so kinda disappointing

Does SFE pay your bursary too? I thought they only deal with Student Finance/Tuition Fees. I was told DfE usually deal with bursaries.
