Responsibilities

The successful candidate will be organised, friendly, have an excellent manner with young people and a good sense of humour.
We are not seeking an expert in every subject, but someone who can deliver a wide variety of lessons across the curriculum with confidence and empathy. It is a challenging but rewarding post that allows you to become an integral part of the team quickly and gain meaningful experience within a school.
