How to apply

Applicants should complete our application form and return to HR@newcastleschool.co.uk

The closing date for applications is Friday 26 June 2026 with interviews likely to take place during the week commencing Monday 29 June 2026.

The Schools are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). The Schools may carry out online searches on shortlisted applicants and all applicants will be required to provide details of their online profile, including social media accounts, as part of their application.

This role amounts to regulated activity.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. The Schools are therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions on a self-declaration form in advance of attending an interview (including those which are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.

We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates. We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements with shortlisted candidates as part of the interview process.
