Hall Green School is a very popular, heavily oversubscribed and academically successful 11-16 Converter Academy. We are a highly diverse institution, both ethnically and as a fully accessible mainstream school, attracting pupils from across the city with physical disabilities. We have wonderful pupils who fully contribute to the school’s caring ethos. Likewise, staff work hard to ensure “there is always an adult on hand whom they [pupils] feel they can talk to and who will listen to them” Ofsted (2025). As a school, we pride ourselves on being warm, inclusive and welcoming where positive relationships are at the centre of what we do.
This is a full-time, term-time, post. You will be working 37 hours per week, these hours will need to be worked flexibly depending on the schools need and could change at short notice; hours exclude a 30-minute lunch.
