We are seeking to appoint a friendly, enthusiastic and hardworking administrator to join the central team of our busy and thriving Initial Teacher Training organisation as we continue to grow and develop.

This is a new role and we would be pleased to consider applicants who could work between 25 and 30 hours per week and we are happy to offer a pattern of work to suit the successful candidate.

The SCITT is led by a small, friendly and highly adaptable team and so being flexible and comfortable with a changing environment are essential characteristics for this role. This is an excellent opportunity and should you wish to be part of supporting school led Initial Teacher Training we would welcome your application.
