If you can talk to us about your passion for reading, your demonstrable impact as a leader and your ability to work at scale across multiple schools please get in touch - we’d love to hear from you.

We offer:  

  • More training and development, so you can get better at what you do.
  • More support for you and your loved ones - a health cash plan, lifestyle savings discounts, employee loans and savings scheme, and employee assistance programme.
