We are focused on enabling our learners to achieve excellent academic progress whilst developing personal qualities that enable them to thrive in the future. The wonderfully diverse population of learners, the emphasis on professional learning for staff and the friendly atmosphere make Ladybridge an interesting and enjoyable place to work.
We strongly believe in allowing our staff to carry out their role to a high standard, whilst having a genuine work life balance which is why our full time technicians have the option of a compressed working pattern which offers a ‘flexi afternoon’ once a fortnight, where they are free to leave school site at lunchtime which is an option available for this post. We will also consider part-time and job share options.

- Experience of working with children or young people
