Right to work in the UK

Non-UK citizens must apply for a work visa in order to live and work in the UK. The School can sponsor Skilled worker visas.

Lycée International de Londres Winston Churchill recognises the positive value of diversity, promotes equality and challenges discrimination. We welcome and encourage job applications from people of all backgrounds.

This job description sets out the duties of the post at the time it was drawn up. The post holder may be required from time to time to undertake other duties within the School as may be reasonably expected, without changing the general character of the duties or the level of responsibility entailed. This is a common occurrence and would not justify a reconsideration of the grading of the post.

It is a requirement that all staff work in a flexible manner compatible with their jobs and in line with the objectives of the School. Please note that the job description for this position may be reviewed and amended to incorporate the future needs of the School.
