What we can offer you in return:

• A fantastic working environment, where students are enthusiastic and want to learn
• Excellent professional development, leading to QTS
• Mentors who have a successful track record in supporting trainees and apprentices
• We value our staff and recognise the importance of providing ongoing training opportunities. As a growing Trust we are also able to offer opportunities for promotion and fresh challenges as new roles arise regularly.
