It couldn’t be a more exciting time to join Parkside School which just joined Wellspring Academy Trust last September when it was also awarded the title of Multi Academy Trust of the year. As such, we are now in the second year of an exciting journey in this new partnership and we are looking for a like-minded, enthusiastic staff member to join us.. Wellspring Academy Trust is known for its inclusive practice and these values are matched by Parkside School. ‘We make a difference’ If you have the same philosophy, this may be the job for you.
Details of Wellspring Academy Trust can be found at: https://wellspringacademytrust.co.uk/
The successful candidate will be an integral part of the Design and Technology department that sits within the Design and Art Faculty. It is an important role in which you would be supporting staff and students in ensuring the facilities and equipment are ready and fit for purpose. The successful candidate will be well organised and ensure that health & safety protocols are paramount. Whilst it would be an advantage if you have worked in schools and that you have a good working knowledge of the technician role, it is not essential as full training will be given. The post is about finding the right person with the same core values.
The successful candidate will be required on site each day but there is some flexibility around the timings of the day. The post is currently 28 hours per week but again, this can be reviewed for the right candidate.
Our vision for Parkside School is that Parkside School should visibly and substantively impact on the community it is embedded within. This impact should be important, meaningful and considerable. This means young people from Parkside should develop into well-rounded young people who know how to keep themselves safe. We want students to have a personal and specific hope for the future which they can articulate, believe in and share with others; students who can empathise, critique, protect, love, inspire, make, design, explore and understand; students who are willing to try things they have never done before, do things they don’t want to do and be willing to reinvent themselves to become the best that they can be.
In our second year Parkside school has introduced a number of changes to bring about rapid improvements. A new uniform, structure to the school day, new curriculum, new pastoral coaching model and a big focus on the quality of teaching. Along with a new Principal and reformed Leadership team, this is an exciting time to join the school.
We encourage any applicant to come and visit the school or to book an informal phone conversation about this role with the Head of Faculty, Gillian Stone. Please contact Gillian on Gillian.stone@parksideschool.net to arrange a suitable time.
If you are as excited by this challenge as we are, and you think this might be the role for you, go to https://mynewterm.com/jobs/150001/EDV-2024-PS-19381
Please apply by submitted a completed application form, having taken note of the attachments, by the closing date of Wednesday 8th January 2025 at 9am.
Interviews for successfully shortlisted candidates will be undertaken on week commencing 13th January 2025.
