Work with Us

Why is Aquinas a great place to work?

• We treat all our staff equally and with respect. Everyone has a voice.
• We offer excellent career opportunities across a range of primary and secondary schools and the Trust (all jobs are advertised on the Aquinas website), so you can grow with us and find your perfect role.
• All our staff have personal career plans and training and development options to suit them, whatever their ambitions (it’s ok if you don’t want a management role – outstanding practitioners are celebrated too). We offer a Trust-wide ‘faculty’ of expertise for teachers to draw on with the opportunity to learn from the very best practitioners within the group, regardless of school.
• You feel part of an inclusive and supportive organisation that has your back at every step (our staff tell us this has been especially true during the pandemic).
• We adapt to change fast, embracing the challenge – our strong leadership team and consistent communication with our schools mean we can tackle the ever-changing educational environment head on.
• We are diligent and organised, with rigorous HR, finance and communication teams to make sure your working life runs as smoothly as possible and your pay and conditions are well looked after
• We are welcoming and inclusive – we are a Trust rooted in Christian principles which celebrates individuals, embraces differences and equally welcomes staff and children of all cultures and of all religions (or none).
• We recognise the importance of diversity and talent, where differences are valued and enhanced whilst delivering equity of opportunity as part of our inclusive culture.
