School Technician

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 opportunity has arisen for a passionate and talented individual to play a key role in supporting our staff at our outstanding, multi-faith school.

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. The school achieved an Attainment 8 score 59.8 and a Progress 8 score of 0.93 in the 2022/23 academic year. Opportunities like these are few and far between and will interest those with creative minds and high aspirations, seeking to inspire a new generation of children through a virtues-led, multi-faith curriculum. The journey will be one of leading your classes to excellence as the school grows to capacity, which will be immensely rewarding for the right individual.

Background: Nishkam School West London is an innovative, state of the art, all-through 4-19 school. Nishkam's outstanding primary school opened in 2013 and the secondary opened in September 2018. The school is part of a highly successful Multi-Academy Trust (5 schools, 2 nurseries; 1 vocational college in Kenya).

As a staff member at Nishkam School West London, you will work in a pioneering group, Nishkam School Trust (NST). NST is one of the first multi-academy free school trusts in the UK. The Trust has opened two free schools in Birmingham (a primary in 2011 and a secondary in 2012), both of which are judged Ofsted Outstanding, and a third, a primary free school in Wolverhampton. The Trust continues to expand and has recently welcomed another primary school in Derby into the Nishkam family. We are looking for a highly committed and innovative individual to work in close collaboration with teachers in both the secondary and primary phases across the Trust.

NST has developed an inclusive, virtues-led, multi-faith educational approach that nurtures pupils of all faiths and those of no particular faith. The Nishkam ethos is to help grow a selfless mindset, aspiring to excellence as well as going beyond ourselves to serve others, to create supportive communities and to realise our true potential. This pervades every aspect of the school.
