The Quay School is an OFSTED rated Outstanding, National Teaching School Hub and a progressive educational establishment that supports young people through difficult times in their lives.

Our different sites provide for very different needs, and we are currently looking to employ a teacher to work at our Harbourside base. The students at this base have been excluded or are at risk of exclusion from mainstream school and have behaviour, emotional and social issues.

The Quay School offers a great deal of CPD opportunities. We take great care to recruit the very best people so that the services we provide are first class. We believe that the best work gets done in an environment that's enjoyable and which values, supports and encourages the development of its employees.

The successful candidate would become an essential part of the team and the school culture. You will be supported fully by equally passionate staff and in return for your hard work you will be rewarded in the knowledge that you have enabled life changing opportunities for young people whom otherwise might not get this chance.
