  • Perform routine maintenance of user-facing IT equipment as needed or appropriate
  • Provide IT support for events, including setting up presentations, videos, or other technical requirements. Be available to address any issues during events, which may occasionally occur early in the morning or in the evening

In return, you’ll enjoy:

  • Caring Environment: Our positive ethos prioritises staff well-being and recognition.
  • Empowerment: Work alongside ambitious, dedicated colleagues who are committed to developing the whole child.
  • Exceptional Students: Engage with children who love being at school, exhibit exceptional behaviour and have a strong attitude towards their learning.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
