What You Need to Qualify
Qualifications for this position include physical fitness because the role requires standing, bending, reaching, and lifting for several hours each day. You must enjoy working as part of a team and be willing to help colleagues when needed. A positive notice issued by Blue Card Services is mandatory, as you will be working in a school environment with children. Commitment to the Catholic Ethos of the college is essential; you do not need to be Catholic yourself, but you must respect and support the school’s values.
