Roles

There's a massive range of work available in schools, from helping in the classroom to balancing the books. And there are genuine training and career options available these days for anyone who wants to improve the job they do or take on greater responsibilities.

To make it easier for you to find your way around the site, we've divided the roles into four main sections.


Pupil support

Helping children and young people get the most out of their education can be extremely rewarding.

Administration

There are a wide range of roles available to people who can help run and maintain efficient and effective systems, from answering the phones to balancing the books.

Technicians

Every school needs specialists in a range of areas to make sure everything runs smoothly, whether it's a music lesson, sports, cooking or the IT network.

Site staff

From keeping the classrooms and corridors clean, to cooking meals for lunchtime, site staff make an invaluable contribution to school life.
