* Support and encouragement to continue with further research or study
* Personal support with our wellbeing programme and support structures
* Relocation assistance may be available

Informal discussions or visits are encouraged and very welcome prior to application. Please contact Mr J Hollingsworth, Director of Teaching and Learning jhollingsworth@st-thomasmore.southend.sch.uk.
