• A collaborative mindset and commitment to whole-school values.
• Experience in curriculum development (desirable).
• A forward-thinking approach and enthusiasm for shaping provision.

Why Join Grateley House School?

• Small class sizes – our Primary provision has a maximum of 4 students per class.
• Supportive team – work alongside experienced colleagues and specialists.
• Weekly CPD – ongoing investment in your professional development.
• Work-life balance – a strong culture of staff wellbeing.
• Beautiful setting – extensive outdoor space in a peaceful environment.

Grateley House School is committed to safeguarding the welfare of children and young people and expects the same from its employees. All new staff will be subject to enhanced DBS clearance, identity checks, qualification checks and employment checks to include an exploration of any gaps within employment, satisfactory references and registration with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

Cambian will also 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.
