Are you a compassionate and dedicated individual who believes in putting students first? Do you want to be part of an inclusive and nurturing community where everyone is empowered to succeed?

At The Colne, we are committed to providing a safe and secure environment where students feel supported every step of the way, allowing them to grow into well-rounded individuals.

An exciting opportunity has arisen at Colne Community School for a Library Co-ordinator and Reprographics Technician to join our staff.

Our school is a community in which we believe everyone, students and staff alike, should have the opportunity to be nourished and grow.

We work closely with other schools within the Trust to improve standards and ensure that we are creating the best environment for our students to learn and our staff to develop.

Our ARK values of Aspiration, Resilience and Kindness describe the ethos that flows through our school. We expect all members of staff to feed into our values and lead by example to our students. We believe that every member of staff has the potential to impact on student experience and therefore we encourage our staff, both teaching and support, to immerse themselves in our school culture.

Applications from outstanding professionals who believe they can contribute to our school community are greatly welcomed. If you are willing to invest in us, we will invest in you which we believe makes the experience at The Colne especially exciting.
