The successful candidate must be able to follow all statutory guidelines including risk management and work with teaching and learning staff to maximise opportunities for education, engagement and enjoyment. The post holder will also take responsibility for looking after school vehicles and must be willing to drive our minibus.

We offer:

  • Good pay, additional bonuses, and salary progression
  • Excellent training and opportunities for continuous professional development
