This isn’t just a job. It’s a purpose.
We’ve been on an incredible journey over the past three years at Harbour School Dorset. From opening the doors to our brand-new school, to tripling our student and staff numbers, we’re now reaching the final phase of our growth, with a total of 150 brilliant young people at our school this September.
Now, we’re looking for someone special to join us on the next stage of that journey – and that someone might be you.
