There will be an occasional requirement for flexibility with the start and finishing times to meet the needs of the department or for school events throughout the year.

We welcome applications from all parts of our community as we aspire to attract staff that match the social and cultural diversity of our student intake.
Applications will be reviewed daily, and we invite interested candidates to apply as soon as possible.
As a result of the Asylum and Immigration Act 1996, employers now must verify that new recruits who are not British Nationals are eligible to work in this country. Therefore, any applicant who is offered an interview will be asked to provide official documentation to verify their ID, address and right to work in the UK. It is also normal practice for the school to ask for original qualifications and professional membership documents as detailed on their application.
