The upcoming term is our most vital recruitment period. By joining the Trust now, you will be perfectly positioned for permanent or long-term vacancies ready for September 2026 starts.

The Role: Full teaching responsibilities, including planning, assessment, and wider school contributions (parents' evenings and staff meetings).
The Benefit: Direct experience that frequently leads to permanent recruitment and internal contracts.
Pay: Paid to the M-Scale (starting from £168.80 per day, dependent on experience).The Catholic Ethos & Your Career
