Join team turner

Turner Schools is dedicated to attracting, recruiting and retaining staff of the highest calibre in our teaching and non-teaching roles. We are made up of a diverse group of professionals who cover many specialisms and as a Trust we come together in the pursuit of delivering a powerful non-selective education through each of our schools in the Turner Schools family.

Our commitment to achieve this is made up of the following objectives:-

To attract, recruit and retain staff 

To work towards an increasingly diverse staffing profile

Turner Schools has due regard for our duties under the Equality Act 2010 to eliminate discrimination, advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations. The Turner Schools Equality and Diversity Policy incorporates gender equality, race equality and disability equality which sets out our commitment to promoting equality and community cohesion and eliminating discrimination and harassment. 

Through our ethos, we will continuously strive to ensure that everyone is treated with respect and dignity. Each faculty colleague in our Academies will be given fair and equal opportunities to develop their full potential regardless of their gender, ethnicity, cultural and religious background, sexuality, disability or special educational needs and ability. 

Equal opportunities will underpin all policies and will be a factor underpinning the monitoring of all aspects of Academy life and achievement. 

To support staff in personal and professional development 

Turner Schools is committed to the wellbeing and development of all Faculty colleagues, so that everyone has the opportunity to become ‘experts’ in their roles. Consequently, all colleagues are entitled to regular guidance, both formally and informally, whatever their roles.

To help us achieve this we walk the ‘Turner talk’

Speak and act with care: always show compassion and respect for children

Act boldly: be ambitious for yourself and the children and young people we serve

Learn from adversity: be evaluative, thoughtful and reflective

Challenge convention: be curious, welcome difference and unfamiliar thinking

Connect with others: support colleagues, parents and pupils to make a great team

Use your voice: offer different views and ask questions

Do what it takes: be relentless in pursuing the best for children

Ask for support: be open and honest when plans go awry

Don’t give up: be calm, resilient and measured when managing challenges
