About our School
Crags Community School is a large primary school in Maltby, a town on the outskirts of Rotherham, and is part of Nexus Multi Academy Trust which was founded in 2016. The vision for Nexus is that we are constantly 'Learning together, to be the best we can be.'
Crags Community School benefits from modern, well-maintained facilities through a Private Finance
Initiative (PFI) arrangement, providing a high-quality learning environment for pupils and staff alike. We are a very happy, safe and friendly school with a real ‘family’ feel. We are also extremely proud of our children and their success. We have a highly inclusive ethos and believe that, by always doing our best, every child can achieve to be the best that they can be.
We are excited to be seeking a School Resource Manager to join our friendly and supportive school community. Following the retirement of our current School Resource Manager, we are looking for someone who shares our commitment to excellence and can build upon the strong foundations already in place. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a significant contribution to the continued success of Crags Community School, working closely with the Headteacher, staff, governors and Trust colleagues to ensure the effective management of the school's resources and operations.
About the Trust
This is an exciting opportunity to join an award winning Multi Academy Trust and be part of a welcoming and supportive team that serves amazing children and young people. Nexus Multi Academy Trust was founded in 2016, with 19 unique SEND and mainstream academies.
We are a growing, forward thinking and innovative Trust with a shared ethos, vision and values for a personalised child centred approach. We are committed and invested in “Learning together, to be the best we can be” and it is as relatable to every employee and partner of our Trust as it is to our children, young adults and their families.
