WHY JOIN US?
At Coastal Learning Partnership, you'll become part of a collaborative and values-driven organisation committed to helping children thrive. You'll work alongside dedicated colleagues in a welcoming school environment where your contribution is recognised and valued.
This role offers the opportunity to make a genuine impact on pupils' educational journeys while developing your own skills and career within a successful and supportive Trust.
Join us and become an essential part of a school community where every child matters and every day makes a difference.
Coastal Learning Partnership is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and requires all staff and volunteers to share and demonstrate this commitment.
The successful candidate will be required to demonstrate that they meet the essential elements of the person specification and will be subject to pre-employment checks including a health check, an Enhanced DBS check, Child Barred List check and satisfactory references. CLP will conduct online searches of shortlisted candidates. This check will be part of a safeguarding check, and the search will purely be based on whether an individual is suitable to work with children. As care must be taken to avoid unconscious bias and any risk of discrimination, a person who will not be on the appointment panel will conduct the search and will only share information if and when findings are relevant and of concern. Applicants are advised that it is an offence to apply for the role if they are barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children.
CLP is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All applicants who meet the person specification will receive equal consideration for employment. We value the fact that our schools are very different, as are our colleagues within them. Our culture is one in which colleagues serve and inspire each other in the spirit of professional generosity; colleagues are empowered to be themselves and to be their best. At CLP, everyone is welcome and encouraged to achieve and be heard.
