Person Specification

Working at St Andrew’s, Turi, is an exciting and dynamic experience. We look to recruit committed and resourceful staff, who are looking to not only develop their skills and leadership capacities, but also embrace new experiences and challenges. There are some things that are essential to working with us. The successful candi-date will need to be able to support the School's aims and Christian ethos. They will have to have a degree as well as a recognised teaching qualification, such as a PGCE, and of course, the relevant experience.Beyond that we want to have staff who love working as part of a team; who are first-class communicators and who are passionate about the subjects and students they teach; who are creative and diligent in their planning; who are adaptable, energetic and resilient. Experience of working in a Senior School, or in boarding, would be desirable, but not essential. Above all, what matters is a commitment to help us provide a world-class education for our children
