Staff Vacancies at Chenderit School, Middleton Cheney, Oxfordshire

Cheney School Cheney School is a secondary school with a three man team looking after approximately 2000 students and a hundred or so Staff. We have a mixture of different platforms (Chrome, Android, Apple and Windows) which makes this a great learning experience for those who want to learn a broad range of technologies. We start early and finish early and have good holidays. These times are flexible as there is always work after school has finished and we can negotiate later start times. I'm not looking particularly for experience or to possess technical skills (a bonus to be sure and the wage will reflect that) but I'm looking for a positive energetic flexible individual who does their best. We can train the rest. The roles below give you an idea of the varied nature of the job but don't be afraid by the formality of the tasks. These are the jobs but I don't expect you to know how to do them all. Cheney is fun, busy and the days end before you know it. We also have a sweet office and a gym onsite. Come apply!
