About Corby Technical School and the Role
At Corby Technical School, we believe in unique learners, unlimited ambition. Our aim is for every student to leave us ready for a successful next step, equipped with the confidence, resilience, and skills to thrive. We create an environment of high support and high challenge, rooted in an inclusive culture and a strong commitment to restorative, asset-based approaches.

You will be confident supporting students who may present with challenging behaviour, non-compliance or dysregulation, remaining calm, consistent and resilient while maintaining high expectations. If you are ready to combine leadership, creativity and care to make a measurable difference every day, we would love to hear from you.
