At West Somerset College we aim to provide a rich and varied education for all of our students. We believe that ensuring students realise their full potential depends upon a continuous drive for excellence by our staff.

You will need to be an outstanding classroom practitioner with a good track record of positive outcomes at Key Stages 4 and 5, but be looking for a new challenge.

  • Discounted Gym Membership
  • A Trust wide leadership competencies framework
  • A professional leadership development coach
  • A Trust wide staff wellbeing policy
  • Personalised professional development supported by an exceptional team within the Academy and driven through The Continual Professional Growth Policy which replaces appraisal and pay progression

Please note, that although we are ideally looking for a full-time colleague, we are open to discussing flexible working options.
