What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and passionate teacher who is committed to improving outcomes for students.

Redbridge Community School is an Ofsted rated (2023) “Good” school in Southampton. It is a special community to be a part of.

What the school offers its staff

For staff we offer:

  • A work/life balance that is envied by other schools– Your life outside school is just as important!
  • A true community school where it feels like you are making a difference
  • An ethos of care for students and staff alike
  • A leadership team that supports staff in all they do
  • An entitlement to a Private Health Care plan as soon as you join us
  • Local Government Pension Scheme

In June 2022 we were once more awarded as Platinum Investors in People School placing us in the top 1% of employers nationally. The following comments are from our 2019 and 2022 reports, and they sum up what it is like to work in our community:

“There is an underlying ‘family’ feel to the school, with everyone wanting to do their best for the students, whilst supporting one another in their development and wellbeing.”

“Leaders invest heavily in their staff, for example they provide opportunities for staff to take care of both their physical and mental health. Staff feel valued and like working at the school. They comment favourably on Leaders’ attempts to reduce unnecessary workload, enable flexible working and respond positively to reasonable requests for compassionate or other leave.”

Please have a look at our website to find out more about how we can offer you a superb work/life balance.
