'CAT employs rolling recruitment methodologies, with shortlisting and interviews for some roles taking place as and when applications are received. This may mean that some roles are recruited to before the closing date, we therefore advise that applications are made without undue delay'.
Carlton Keighley is a small community secondary school, set in an attractive semi-rural location. In 2018 we joined Carlton Academy Trust (CAT), which proudly oversees three secondary schools, three primary schools, and three special schools, collectively educating nearly 5,000 students and employing almost 1,000 members of staff. All CAT schools are rated either Outstanding or Good by Ofsted. Since then, the school has made rapid progress, gaining its' first ever 'Good' rating from Ofsted in January 2020. Standards in the school have continued to improve due to our culture of high expectations, resulting in some of our best exam results ever and a rapidly expanding school roll. Although a remarkable journey, this is not the limit of the school's ambitions as it aspires to the Trust motto of 'Excellence for All' and becoming an outstanding school over the next few years. As such, aspirations of all students are high and don't allow the significant disadvantages that they face to be an excuse for poor outcomes. Teaching and learning is the focus of everything we do, investing in staff through regular, high-quality research-led professional development.
Carlton Keighley is a great place to work with helpful, friendly, and supportive staff and excellent standards of student behaviour and conduct which promote a calm, purposeful atmosphere within lessons and around school. Staff welfare is a priority, and we strive to preserve a proper work-life balance through small class sizes, early Friday finishes, with meetings and paperwork kept to an absolute minimum.
We are looking for a professional, approachable, and well-organised individual to join our Student Services team. You will be the first point of contact for students and visitors, so excellent communication skills and a calm, friendly manner are essential.
You should be confident using ICT systems, able to manage multiple tasks efficiently, and handle sensitive information with discretion. Experience in a reception or school environment is desirable, along with a flexible, team-focused approach and a strong commitment to safeguarding.
Employee welfare is extremely important to us, and we are proud to offer a comprehensive employee benefits package through the 'Carlton Cares' programme, designed to support colleagues physical, mental and financial wellbeing. These benefits include a fully funded Health Plan and an Employee Assistance Programme, in addition to salary sacrifice and employee discount schemes.
We hope you are excited by the schools' improvement journey and look forward to welcoming applications from colleagues who share our values and ambition to deliver excellence for the young people of Keighley.

Carlton Keighley is a small community secondary school, set in an attractive semi-rural location. The school has had a remarkable re-birth and improvement over recent years, starting when Carlton Academy Trust began its' involvement at the forerunner school UAK in 2018. The school was in challenging financial circumstances, running at barely half student capacity with extremely poor relations between staff and school leaders. Academic standards were poor, with the school included in Ofsted 'Stuck Schools' research concerning the small minority of schools nationally which had never been rated at least 'Good'.
Despite these considerable challenges, the school made rapid progress from this point and gained its' first ever 'Good' rating from Ofsted in January 2020, is now in a very secure financial position and enjoys a rapidly expanding school roll. Although a remarkable journey, this is not the limit of the school's ambitions as it aspires to the Trust motto of 'Excellence for All' and become an outstanding school over the next few years. As such, aspirations of all students are high and don't allow the significant disadvantages that they face to be an excuse for poor outcomes. Teaching and learning is the focus of everything we do, investing in staff through regular, high-quality research-led professional development.
