·      A dynamic and forward-thinking professional

·      A common-sense, resilient and hard-working approach

·      Strong communication and organisational skills

·      A keen eye for detail and meticulous approach to work


There are many good reasons to work with us. We have a real sense of community, striving to make a difference to children’s education. You will be part of the wider Archdiocese family and in the company of some of the best people in education. We also offer a variety of benefits, such as:  


·        Central office in the iconic Port of Liverpool Building

·        Work alongside a supportive Central team in a values-driven organisation

·        Competitive salaries and pay progression

·        Flexible working

·        Access to extensive professional development opportunities
