We are looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Operations Lead to provide the overall strategic and operational leadership and management for all aspects of health and safety, ICT, premises, catering contracts, administration and operations support in our school. This role will suit someone with a proactive attitude who is an excellent people and project manager.

We aim to equip our students with the skills to grow into confident, ambitious and responsible citizens ready to face the challenges of the adult world. Our staff are passionate about seeing young people succeed in their subject.

Why work for us?

We work hard to make all staff feel like they belong and can flourish. We create a bespoke induction plan for all new staff, shaped with their input and based on their experience, strengths and aims. All teachers get an additional hour every fortnight of protected PPA, totalling 6 hours for a full-time teacher. We have a culture of 1% improvements, which means no hour-long lesson observations and time wasted producing unnecessary paperwork. All staff love our two-week October half-term and have access to free gym use (with shower facilities), ample on-site parking, an up-to-date 2-in-1 laptop (tablet with pen and laptop all in one), a full Microsoft Office package and a vibrant and social staff body.

If you share our vision based on the unshakeable belief that children learn through all aspects of their daily lives and that their values and knowledge, experiences and habits are as important as their academic qualifications, we would be delighted to hear from you.

If you would like an informal phone call or a visit to the school with the Headteacher, we welcome and value this. To arrange, please contact Site visits with the Headteacher are welcome on 15, 22 and 29 August 2024 as well as an informal telephone/Teams call with the Headteacher.
