Trinity Academy is a highly oversubscribed free school that opened in 2019. We are a values based community that focuses on the learning of all students and staff, that cares deeply for our young people and each other and that is committed to co-curricular enrichment. Our stated goal is to be a +1 school for progress and as such, we are looking for a highly motivated, professional and well qualified teacher and leader to join us in our mission.

Applications are invited from charismatic, creative and enthusiastic candidates for this exciting, and rewarding post to supervise classes as they undertake work set in the short-term absence of the class teacher.  We particularly encourage applications from under-represented groups, as we seek to ensure our staff body reflects the diversity of our student population.  This is an exciting opportunity to work alongside school staff, to be trained in supervisory skills and to develop these skills in the management of school classes.
