The post-holder will be responsible in the first instance to the Head of EYFS and will be self-motivated, reliable and able to use their own initiative.

This is an exciting time to become part of our dynamic team.

For us, success is about more than just exam results or awards. We celebrate each pupil as an individual, and aspire for them to leave St Joseph’s as mature and confident citizens, ready to tackle life head on with energy and vigour. You will be fully supportive of the College Catholic tradition and expected to contribute to the full life of the School.
