Benefits of working at KAA include:

• Full support for your professional development and future training needs

• A generous holiday allowance which rises as you remain in employment.
  
• A commitment to offer flexible working whenever we can and to support the work life balance of our employees
• A 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme.
• A Cycle to Work Scheme.

If you are keen to be part of a school with clear, positive values and which adds positive value to our students and staff then we look forward to meeting you.
