These recruitment and retention resources guide you through the recruitment process. They start by asking the question, what do you want to achieve rather than with what you are going to do. Only when you have answered this question do they move onto thinking about what type of people you would like to recruit and how you’re going to recruit them.
The recruitment toolbox allows you to planning for success and covers all the important things they need to be considered. It is a four page word document that guides you through the recruitment process, asking questions and
suggesting help. Completely editable so that you can design your own recruitment plan.

Why not have a look at some of the previous award winners and consider applying for yourself, your band or a teacher who is doing great things?
