We’re partnering with a vibrant and welcoming secondary school in Telford, right at the centre of its local community. It’s a place where learning, respect and ambition go hand in hand, and where students are encouraged to get stuck in, whether that’s in the classroom, on the sports field, on stage, or during enrichment trips and house events.

What the school offers:

• Strong pastoral care and a supportive senior leadership team
• A broad curriculum, including languages and a wide range of KS4 options
• A buzzing extra-curricular scene, from sport and drama to music
• A genuine community feel, where students enjoy coming to school

They’re looking for someone who:

• Has experience working with young people, ideally in schools
• Handles behaviour calmly and fairly
• Builds rapport quickly and naturally
• Is organised, adaptable and ready to get going from day one
