Join Our Team Working at Thomas’s is unique. What sets it apart is the overwhelming sense of belonging felt by every one of our staff. Staff at Thomas’s enjoy excellent benefits, unrivalled teaching resources and equipment, mentoring and collegial support as well as opportunities for continued professional development, further education, research and promotion. Working at Thomas's Members of staff at Thomas’s work extremely hard as members of inspirational, supportive and enthusiastic teams. And be it a warm unicorn coat for playground duty, morning coffee or fresh fruit at break times, Thomas’s knows that small, thoughtful touches make a difference and teachers and members of the support teams feel so well cared for. Members of staff across Thomas's collaborate frequently with one another, exchange ideas for best practice, develop knowledge and skills and devise new ways of teaching. More experienced teachers mentor the newer members of their teams and everyone learns from each other. ‘Demanding, invigorating and a little crazy, the Thomas’s team is inspirational.’ MUSIC TEACHER Ethos for Members of Staff Most importantly, Thomas’s encourages everyone in our community, pupils, parents and teachers, to be kind. Wellbeing is at the heart of everything that we do. Without it, we cannot successfully encourage children to grow physically and emotionally. Thomas’s always reminds us, as employees, how important we are to them and why we are all part of the Thomas’s family. ‘This is no ordinary job, this is a Thomas’s job!' YEAR 1 TEACHER PROGRESSION Professional Development At the heart of staff support is continuing professional development. Whether that is our ongoing in-house training relating to school development priorities, supporting a teacher to undertake a Master’s degree or another postgraduate qualification, offering further training to support staff, encouraging the establishment of a new idea in school or providing mentoring and support for newly qualified teachers; the journey towards excellence is paramount. Thomas’s want their staff to be as successful and fulfilled as they possibly can be. We offer various CPD routes through our partnership with the National School of Education and Teaching and staff have also received their MAs though the University of Roehampton and the University of Buckingham. We offer a Graduate Recruitment Scheme through T3 - Thomas's Teacher Training and teaching assistants can pursue the QTS route into teaching if they wish. ‘No day is ever the same. There’s certainly no danger of boredom!’ YEAR 2 TEACHER Our Teams Teaching Team Teaching Support Team Peripatetic Team Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs) Outdoors Team Gap Year Teaching Programme Student Placements, Work Experience and Teaching Observation Administration Team IT Team Catering Team Maintenance & Premises Team Transport Team For further information: Application Form Policy on the recruitment of Ex-Offenders Application and Recruitment Process Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy Gender Pay Gap Report - April 2017 Gender Pay Gap Report - April 2018 Gender Pay Gap Report - April 2020 Thomas's London Day Schools are committed to safeguarding the welfare of children and young people, and expect all staff to share this commitment and work in accordance with our child protection policies and procedures.
