You Will:

• Provide a high-quality customer focused management administrative service within the main school office
• Supervise the students in KS3 and KS4 working on pre-set learning activities in the absence of a teacher.
• Be caring and supportive and committed to achieving excellent results.
• Have a belief that every young person, whatever their starting point or circumstances, can achieve exceptional things.
• Promote the well-being of our student’s providing guidance and support and be able to inspire learning and progress.
• Be resilient and determined, and confident in talking to large groups of young people.

In return, we can offer a supportive working environment, with access to regular high quality research-based CPD, excellent standards of behaviour, and a commitment to eliminating unnecessary workload.
