Due to our increasing PAN and student numbers, we are excited to offer the opportunity to join our academy as our staff body continues to grow and support our larger year groups of 220 students.

To succeed, you will have a good academic standard of general education to GCSE grade C/4 in English and Maths and have a patient, caring and sympathetic personality. We are keen to secure a high calibre professional who can make a telling contribution to our team.
