• is supportive of the ethos of a Church and Trust school.
• understands our children and our community and who is able to build supportive and respectful relationships with children whilst maintaining confidentiality and following the school’s Code of Conduct.
• who is prepared to undertake appropriate CPD to develop their skills including First Aid training and annual Safeguarding / Child Protection training.
• understands the importance of Child Protection and is committed to the safeguarding of children’s welfare - both at home and in school.

In Return, We Will Offer

• A supportive environment where contributions and ideas are encouraged, valued and supported.
• Happy and motivated children who are eager to learn.
• A collaborative and supportive school community that is underpinned by the Christian ethos, driven by a shared passion of children’s welfare and education.
• A rewarding working environment, within a supportive and welcoming atmosphere.
• Access to a vast array of employee benefits and recognition systems, via our brand-new partnership with Perkbox.
• Employment within one of the largest Multi-Academy Trusts in the Peterborough Diocese, with wider development, training and career opportunities.
