The working hours will be 30 hours per week.

This position is for a fixed term from 1st September 2026 to 31st August 2027 (although there is the possibility that this could be extended).

What we can offer you:

Children who are proud of their school and have a clear understanding of our vision and values;
An inclusive environment that celebrates individuals from all communities and cultures;
A genuine focus on staff wellbeing and workload reduction;
Access to a wide range of health & wellbeing services through our employee assistance programme;
A commitment towards continued professional development for all staff providing coaching and training opportunities to develop your skills;
Membership of the local government pension scheme and access to our cycle to work scheme.
