Our team consists of very experienced staff who have been a part of this senior leadership team for a number of years and, therefore, this post provides an extremely rare opportunity to join this established team. It is vitally important that any applicant feels that they can work within our team, with our children and within our expectations so I therefore extend a warm invitation for any interested individual to come and visit us prior to making an application.
