How to integrate with the DFE Teaching Jobs Board

Setting up the Link:

There isn’t any ‘setup’ work in linking the sites, all you need to do is ensure you have the correct information in your Every settings:

In each property go to Admin – Main Settings and enter your URN Number.

Once this step is completed, if you are a trust go to Trust Overview – MAT Admin – Main Settings and enter your Trust Unique Group Identifier number and Trust Postcode.

(Don’t know your unique numbers? Find out via the DFE)

For your next steps, go to Recruitment – Vacancies – select the vacancy you’d like to link to the DFE – and tick the field, ‘Is Teaching Job’ This must be ticked, or the Integration link will not be turned on.

You have now turned on the integration link for that vacancy.

To post an advert on the DFE, simply go onto your Advert and select the toggle ‘Show on Department of Education Job Board’

Your advert will now be showing on the DFE Job board.

Extra Information:

1. Once you turn on the toggle for the advert to link to the DFE Job board, some information will become mandatory such as salary, job type, working pattern etc. The system will notify you of any information you are missing when you save the page.

2. On the DFE site, an overview of the advert will consist of Preview of Job Description, Salary, Contract Type, Job Role and Working Pattern, there is a button which will then take the possible candidate to the full advert.

3. The Advert link is instantaneous and should appear on the website within a few minutes.

4. This should only be used for teaching vacancies.
