Judged ‘Outstanding’ in the last three consecutive Ofsted inspections, we have been recognised, and pride ourselves on our innovative and creative approaches throughout our school.
We are looking for individual qualities such as motivation; aspiration; passion and commitment to professional development. You will be driven and ambitious and keen to learn from the highly skilled staff team around you. As an employee of Sherbourne Fields, you will be adaptable in your approach whilst playing a key role in supporting pupils with a wide range of additional need throughout their school day and beyond. You will be able to demonstrate a clear understanding of the school ethos - which embraces change and remains solution focused whilst ensuring children remain at the heart of our practice.
You will be committed to a quality of education that will facilitate the development of strategies and skills for successful learning, and the ability to use them in all aspects of life.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
