Summary

We also want people who are fun and dynamic and not afraid to try something new! You should be willing to participate in the Catholic life of our school but do not need to be Catholic yourself.

Our staff team are supportive and caring, wellbeing is a focus and we have a strong commitment to innovative professional development.

We really value our staff work life balance and can offer:

o Additional PPA time

o Experienced parallel teachers and line managers

o A supportive and successful ECT programme

o Use of TeachmateAI to reduce workload

o Staff INSETS only as and when needed

o Employee Support Programme
