• Working hours: Monday to Friday between 7:00am and 6:30pm (start and finish times to be discussed during the interview process and will not exceed daily allocation).
• From time to time, you may be asked to vary your working hours to meet the operational needs of the school, such as during school holidays or weekends for site works. A flexible approach is therefore essential.

The schools offer you:
• friendly and enthusiastic pupils who are polite and well behaved
• a supportive and varied working environment
• inspirational leadership and fantastic staff
• extensive and attractive grounds with excellent outdoor provision
You will offer the schools:
