At Withernsea High School, we are committed to the wellbeing of our community and recognise that our staff and students are most successful when they feel happy, valued, challenged, and supported to achieve their very best.
This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated and talented teacher who is eager to inspire and challenge. If you care about the success of your students and colleagues, and have the determination to make that success a reality, we would welcome your application.
