Experience in supporting educational activities and/or administrative tasks within a school would be an advantage, as we encourage colleagues to contribute at all levels, but full training will be provided.

Are you intrigued? Do you have the drive and determination to contribute to the further wider development of our Academy? Do you want to work for an organisation that has the wellbeing of staff and students at its heart, alongside fantastic new employee benefits? If so, we would be delighted to hear from you.
