Involved an interview with an ambassador, a group task, a role play and a quick role play evaluation. The interview consisted of around 4 or 5 questions so was quite short. The interviewer was very friendly. It is very important to show real enthusiasm for Teach First and the vision so try to show that in the interview. In the group task there were around 8 of us who were teachers trying to make a plan to improve careers prospects of the students which we then had to present. Again, think about the competencies, offer to keep track of time and try not to dominate the conversation. In the role play I was a teacher and the interviewer was a student. You are given a scenario on a piece of paper and are required to get to the bottom of the problem in the time limit - this was difficult! I think in this task they are looking that you can accurately evaluate yourself afterwards so don't worry if it goes badly, just reflect on what was good and what needed improving afterwards.

Application online about what the role meant, how you align with the vision. Assessment Centre was a 1-1 interview, group exercise and role play. Time at the end to provide feedback on your own performance which is also considered.
