As a staff member at Nishkam School West London, you will work in a pioneering group, Nishkam School Trust (NST). NST is one of the first multi-academy free school trusts in the UK. The Trust has opened two free schools in Birmingham (a primary in 2011 and a secondary in 2012), both of which are judged Ofsted Outstanding, and a third, a primary free school in Wolverhampton. The Trust continues to expand and has recently welcomed another primary school in Derby into the Nishkam family. We are looking for a highly committed and innovative individual to work in close collaboration with teachers in both the secondary and primary phases across the Trust.
NST has developed an inclusive, virtues-led, multi-faith educational approach that nurtures pupils of all faiths and those of no particular faith. The Nishkam ethos is to help grow a selfless mindset, aspiring to excellence as well as going beyond ourselves to serve others, to create supportive communities and to realise our true potential. This pervades every aspect of the school.

* I feel well supported in this school. Whenever I have any concerns, I am able to voice them and am given support whenever needed

* This is a fine school, and I am excited about the direction that we are going in. Wonderful school, wonderful students. Work is busy and the expectations are so high; both of those are real positives.
* I truly enjoy working at this school
