This is an opportunity for an experienced teacher to further their development as part of a forward-thinking MAT to benefit from our supportive model for staff CPD and career development. It is important to belong at work and the work you do is relied upon by our pupils, so even small positive differences which are made, make people very happy. We want to ensure you have a good work life balance and one of the ways we achieve this is by having a two-week autumn half term.
