Work with us
One school. One family.
The most important part of Kimbolton School is its people.
Our staff are our greatest asset, and we are proud to have a committed and professional team dedicated to the development of our pupils and their school.
At Kimbolton, we want every member of staff to feel part of One school. One family. Whatever your role and wherever you work within the school, you’ll play a valued part in helping our community function well, feel inclusive, and thrive. We all share responsibility for one another’s wellbeing, professional fulfilment and success.
Wellbeing, professional development and accountability for the quality of our work are central to our staff culture. Listening to staff voice is too – we value open communication, collaboration and fresh ideas.
We believe strongly in collaboration, collegiality and camaraderie. These values make our staff body a strong and united team – and when our staff are at their best, so are the children in our care.
If you share these values, we’d love to hear from you. Join us and become a vital part of Kimbolton.
