About The Role

This is a term time only job but will cover all seasons - so you need to enjoy the outside! Please see the attached job description but focus on the context statement that accompanies it.

This is an exciting time to join our wonderful school as we expand both our pupil numbers and our site at Monkton Park. We passionately believe that happy, highly respected employees are vital for the smooth running of our school. We therefore take the wellbeing of our staff very seriously and ensure that they all maintain a healthy work-life balance. Successful candidates will be prepared to work hard and respond to the daily challenges of school life but won't have any unreasonable demands placed upon them.
