If you are driven to ensure the highest possible standards of teaching and learning, progress and achievement, then we warmly invite you to apply and join our convivial team.

Our students are enthusiastic and enjoy interactive lessons from passionate teachers. They respond well to strong trusting relationships with staff. Parkside has a renewed focus on student development, both academically and in personal growth. This includes an approach to pastoral care through small group Coaching circles, introduced in September 2024, which include a mix of all year groups and which places a strong emphasis on building a sense of community, belonging and respect and understanding. 

This would be a fantastic time to join the school, Trust and the Maths faculty. Our vision for Parkside School is that we should visibly and substantively impact the community we are embedded within. This impact should be important, meaningful and considerable. This means young people from Parkside should develop into well-rounded young people who know how to keep themselves safe. We want students to have a personal and specific hope for the future which they can articulate, believe in and share with others; students who can empathise, critique, protect, love, inspire, make, design, explore and understand; students who are willing to try things they have never done before, do things they don’t want to do and be willing to reinvent themselves to become the best that they can be.

As an employee of Wellspring Academy Trust, you will benefit from a range of employee perks which include Staff Offers and Discounts, a free will writing service, Community First Credit Union, Cycle to Work schemes and People Celebration Schemes.
