An exciting opportunity to be part of a strong team in a growing and thriving school with a clear vision and ambition for our students.
We are looking to appoint a teacher of Child Development and Health and social care to join our outstanding team of teachers. This post would suit either an experienced or early career teacher.
Child Development is a popular course at KS4. It recruits very well as a KS4 option and students achieve well. Many of the students are aiming to move into careers in the caring or childcare sector and are highly motivated in this subject.
