What skills and experience we're looking for

We believe that great communication is more like a path than an event. Great communication is conversation—less monologue; more dialogue.

Because dialogue creates connection, connection begets trust, and trust strengthens engagement and improves outcomes. It sounds simple—but simple isn’t always easy.

Fundamentally, the role of the Communications Officer is to ensure that everything that is communicated by Reach Schools (both internal and externally) aligns with our brand—i.e. who we authentically are; what we stand for and how we behave.

Our Communications Officer will play a pivotal role in effectively conveying Reach Schools’ priorities, building relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, and championing our successes along the way.

• Weekly instructional coaching Professional development is important to us, so much so that we offer collaborative and non-hierarchical coaching in a fun and shame-free environment, every week.
• 10 inset days To ensure outstanding staff training and provide time to deeply understand pupil data and plan for great outcomes.
• 5 days term time leave We understand that accessing desired time off for teachers and school staff can be difficult. Throughout the year, we offer opportunities for team members to accrue term-time leave.
• Flexible Working A diverse workforce with work-life balance is crucial for our school's stability. If you need to adjust your schedule for personal commitments or seek part-time or hybrid working, don’t hesitate to let us know.
• Enhanced maternity pay Reach Schools value families and community relationships. For this reason, we aim to be a support system for staff who are on maternity leave.
• Free Friday breakfast On Fridays we show our appreciation to one another as a staff team with encouraging shout-outs and delicious pastries.
