As the successful candidate, you will have an active interest in learning, education and ensuring the best outcomes for our young people, staff, community and partnerships.

We recognise there can be benefits to flexible working and where individual jobs allow, we seek to support this. A healthy work life balance is important to us and we provide supportive management and, where possible, flexible working arrangements to help you achieve that balance. You will have access to training and support for continued professional development.
