We seek an outstanding and motivated person to join our team to be the welcoming face of the school.

Experience of working in a school/college office environment is desirable along with experience of minuting meetings, although training will be provided.

Our small school is situated in the village of Wendron, just outside of Helston. Our Christian ethos shines through our life in school and we are committed to ensuring that every pupil in our school is able 'to live life, life in all its fullness' John 10:10. Our Trust Core Shared Values, and our Trust Philosophy of 'work hard, be honest & help others' reflect this commitment.

This is an exciting time for our pupils and staff at Wendron. Our school joined Kernow Learning in September 2022 and we now share the collective strength of being part of this family of schools. By working in partnership with other schools locally and across Cornwall, our children's experience will be further enriched and allow them to flourish.

Kernow Learning is a multi-academy trust of 21 primary schools in Cornwall. We believe that our trust is at the precipice of something great; through a mix of collective synchronicity and autonomy, our schools are working together to provide strength so that they can stretch their offer beyond expectations in their drive for excellence. Our trust is not insular; we embrace collaboration, innovation, and development. Our English Hub supports schools across Cornwall to secure children's early reading, whilst our Teaching School Hub, as a partner in OneCornwall, provides services to schools across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly in relation to areas such as the Early Career Framework and National Professional Qualifications.

As well as offering great schools to work in, wonderful children to work with, and fantastic colleagues to work alongside, our Trust is committed to providing colleagues with other benefits that make your employment with Kernow Learning the best it can be. We offer:

A competitive salary and membership of Local Government Pension Scheme;

A real commitment to wellbeing, including access to 24/7 wellbeing services and employee assistance programme;

Access to discounts with national and local retailers and service providers;

A range of CPD and training opportunities, both internally and externally, learning from local and national speakers and specialists to support your professional growth;

The support and skills of our networks of colleagues both within our schools and our Shared Services teams.

If you would like the opportunity to contribute to the success of our trust, then we would love to hear from you. You can apply for this position online by visiting www.kernowlearning.co.uk/vacancies.
