About the role
At the heart of St. Luke’s is a strong values system, which promotes diversity and inclusion in its actions and not just in words.

We very much welcome new members of staff who will add to the diversity of ideas and dialogue around teaching and learning and enrich our learning community.
We offer a career development structure which builds on your strengths and passions and gives you the freedom to enquire and take risks.
