The Academy is part of Broad Horizons Education Trust and we share their vision that improving the life chances of all pupils is at the heart of all we do.
We are looking to recruit Childcare Officers who will be responsible for the care and leisure time of groups of students under the supervision and the direction of the Senior Childcare Officer team.
