About Westcountry Schools Trust
Welcome to Westcountry Schools Trust
Welcome to Westcountry Schools Trust Careers
Thank you for considering a career with Westcountry Schools Trust (WeST). This is an exciting time to join us. Our Trust brings together 31 schools across South Devon, Plymouth and Cornwall, with plans for further growth in the years ahead. Each school proudly retains its local identity, yet we are united by one mission:
Empowering ALL children to make a positive impact on society.
Our vision is simple but powerful:
Every child achieving in a great school.
Why Work With Us?
At WeST, we strive for academic excellence because we know that great outcomes create life chances and opportunities for young people. High expectations are at the heart of our work, and inclusivity remains central to everything we do.
We are moving towards a clustering model, enabling schools to retain their autonomy and distinctiveness while benefiting from the collective strength and support of a wider family. This interconnectedness is the backbone of how we work: quietly providing essential support so schools can focus on what matters most—enabling teachers to be excellent in the classroom.
Our Values
What binds us together is not uniformity, but a shared set of values:
Collaboration, Aspiration, Integrity, Compassion, and Respect—showing due consideration for the thoughts, feelings and beliefs of others.
What We Offer
- A strong central school improvement team to support colleagues at the chalk face.
- Shared services that lift the heavy load of background activity, allowing schools to focus on teaching and learning.
- Opportunities for collaboration across teaching, curriculum design, staff development, finance, HR, estates, governance, and wider school improvement.
- Partnerships beyond our boundaries with the South West Regions Group Director, Teaching School Hub Council, Higher Education Institutions, Local Authorities, and employers.
Join Our Community
As part of WeST, you will help shape the Trust’s future direction, work alongside expert colleagues, and join a cross-phase family committed to giving children the very best start in life. There can be no greater privilege than working with such wonderful pupils and dedicated staff, whose passion drives everything we do.
