Job overview

Thank you for your interest in joining Viridis Schools. We are looking to appoint a skilled individual who wants to make a difference to the life opportunities of our children and families and someone who is able to effectively support our inclusion team.

Viridis Schools (Orchard, Southwold and Hoxton Garden Primary Schools) have been working in a very successful partnership for over 5 years. We have a joint Governing Body and strong links to our Local Authority, the London Borough of Hackney. Each school has its own leadership team who work together with the common aim of giving children the very best. We have very high standards for what can be achieved with the benefits of shared expertise. Although many of our pupils come from disadvantaged backgrounds or speak a language other than English, we do not use this as an excuse for underachievement and have the same ambition for all pupils regardless of circumstances. Disadvantaged pupils at our school achieve significantly better than those nationally because of this belief, ambition and hard work.

If you would like to learn more about us and what we do, there is more information on our school websites including an outline of our curriculum and our aims in more detail. We would also be delighted to give you a tour and answer any questions that you may have.


What we can offer:

  • A genuine opportunity to make a difference.
  • Opportunities to work across partner school sites
  • High quality support and CPD to ensure that you are successful.
  • An exciting, well organised and vibrant environment in which to work.
  • A fantastic community of parents and children who deserve the best.
  • A supportive and highly experienced leadership team.


Who we are looking for:

In particular we are looking for someone who:

  • Has previous experience of working in a primary school.
  • Has high expectations of what can be achieved.
  • Is passionate about how children learn best and never gives up on them.
  • Is flexible with a good sense of humour and an understanding of the ‘bigger picture’.
  • Is hard working, creative and has a good sense of fun.
  • Is tough enough to cope with the daily challenges that working in fast paced inner-city schools can bring.
  • Is an excellent communicator, with the ability to earn the trust and respect of others.
  • Is able to work to their own initiative as well as part of a team.
  • Puts children and their right to an excellent education first.
