    About you

      This role is:



      • 37.5 hours per week - with no late nights


      • Working 39.5 weeks per year based around term time - what could you do with all that time off?


      • £30,000 per annum

        You'll also benefit from:



        • Working for a fast growing, ambitious company. There is no ceiling here in terms of where you can take your career


        • A dedicated L&D team to support you in developing your skills including apprenticeships and training courses that are available for everyone.

          Please note, we do expect all staff to share our commitment of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children/young people and an enhanced DBS disclosure will be sought by the company.
