Do you want to work at an ambitious school with bright, well behaved and engaged learners? Are you interested in helping students to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them? An exciting opportunity has arisen for a passionate and talented Associate Teacher apprentice to play a key role in shaping our outstanding, multi-faith school. This role would suit an apprentice looking to make their way into teaching or SEN.
Nishkam School West London is a flagship school for our Trust, offering all-through provision on an expansive 11-acre green site. Our students are bright, diligent and well mannered.
