Can initiate and encourage play opportunities for children
Can relate well and communicate effectively at all levels with other staff members, parents and pupils
Can engage well with our children

A competitive salary on our Greensand Multi Academy Trust terms and conditions
A team of friendly and supportive staff who are all committed to the school’s continued improvement
Enrollment into a local government pension scheme
The opportunity to work with an academy trust that encourages all of its schools to keep their own unique identity, whilst enjoying excellent relationships and collaborative partnerships with the wider Greensand community
An excellent staff assistance scheme with access to a range of wellbeing and health initiatives, including complimentary counselling, physiotherapy and a 24 hour online GP service
The closing date for applications is Monday 5 January 2026 at 9am. Candidates should apply via the Greensand Multi Academy Trust's My New Term portal, accessible via the Trust website. Applications will be considered upon receipt and we reserve the right to appoint someone sooner than this if we identify a suitable candidate. You are therefore encouraged to apply for the role as soon as possible.
We want to attract the broadest range of talented people to be part of our Trust. We strive to create a diverse and inclusive environment and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. If you need any specific support or require alternative formats, please contact us.
