Associate Teacher job summary

We are seeking an enthusiastic, innovative and highly motivated Associate Teacher to join our growing team of staff in KS3 asap to supervise lessons and lead learning during the short-term absence of teaching staff in our pioneering Opening Minds team.

Temporary 1Y in the first instance
Supported in Y2 with an ITT placement (on successful application)

The successful candidate will be required to demonstrate very good classroom management and ensure that students complete the work set by teaching staff to a high standard. The post will also entail some in-class support during lessons, working with small-groups or creating/producing resources, when the demand for covering lessons is lower.

- Qualified to degree level,
- Excited about contributing to the development of Teaching & Learning in the Opening Minds team,
- Committed to making a difference to the lives of pupils,

- Someone who can forge positive relationships with students to encourage great learning in the classroom.
