Bishop Challoner Training School Alliance (BCTSA) has been a leader of teacher development in the West Midlands for over 20 years. We deliver a busy programme of term time training events and workshops in our Challoner House venue, welcoming interns, trainee teachers, teachers, and leaders from across the West Midlands every week. We are recruiting for Events Support to ensure the smooth running of these events. 

We are looking for a new member of staff to join our supportive and welcoming team, liaising with facilitators, caterers, and others to ensure events are well-organised. You will support pre-event communication with participants and be a presence during all training sessions to support both participants and facilitators. You will play a key role in managing the calendar of events. 

You will work mainly in our Challoner House training venue, but we also run a smaller number of events on the school site and in other venues, such as in Birmingham City Centre, so occasionally you may be working in other locations. 

We are proud of the work we do to support training for teachers across the region and are excited to offer this opportunity to join our team. 

BCTSA is a designation of Bishop Challoner Catholic College which is a highly successful, heavily over-subscribed mixed 11-19 Catholic comprehensive school in the South of Birmingham.

The school has recently been designated as a Microsoft Showcase School in recognition of its excellence in innovation and the effective use of technology. In September 2024, we launched our SCITT which recruits and trains the next generation of inspirational teachers. This is a measure of the high achievements of the school and its excellence in training and developing staff.
