This is a varied and rewarding role and is ideally suited to someone with a passion for working with

best possible outcomes throughout their school careers.

Wellbeing Lead.

The postholder will be required to work Wednesday – Friday, from 8.30am to 3.30pm, with a 30-
minute unpaid lunch break each day. Although there maybe flexibility with regard to working hours/
patterns, it is essential that the postholder works on a Friday each week.

Government Pension Scheme.

young people and expects all staff to share the same commitment. Appointment is subject to
