Would you like to work in a school that enjoys exceptional facilities in our state-of-the-art building and where staff wellbeing and opportunities for professional development are at the heart of everything we do? If the answer to both of these questions is, ‘Yes,’ then Sedgefield Community College could be the right school for you.
If applying for the Subject Leader position, we pride ourselves on being a highly supportive environment and you will benefit from this in an exciting role where you can shape the direction of the subject.

This is an exciting opportunity for the right candidate to join our Technology team.
