What skills and experience we're looking for

Dean School are looking for an excellent class teacher to join our dedicated team from the start of the autumn term. The successful candidate will need to be

An excellent primary practitioner with recent experience of teaching and assessment, particularly in Key Stage 2, and with high expectations of pupil progress and achievement

Calm and positive in managing pupils’ behaviour, including that of pupils with SEND

Dedicated to ensuring the progress and well-being of all pupils, of all abilities, with a commitment to high standards, both professionally and personally

Highly motivated, enthusiastic, organised, flexible and caring

Able to work as part of a strong team and be fully involved in the life of the school including forming strong links with parents and the community

Sympathetic to the Christian ethos of our school and be committed to our aims and values

Able to lead or support a curriculum area/aspect of the School Action Plan and contribute to whole school development. A SENCO allowance could be available for a suitably qualified and experienced candidate.

Well behaved pupils who are keen to learn, try to do their best and want to make the world a better place

A strong Christian ethos and supportive parent and wider local community

An opportunity to take the first, or next, step in your career, working within the supportive network of the Good Shepherd Trust

Further details about the role

The post is advertised as temporary (due to school budget and funding uncertainties) at Main Pay Scale (M1-M6) but there is potential for this to become permanent at a later stage; Early Career Teachers would be considered, as would more experienced teachers looking for the opportunity to take on a ‘middle leadership’ role (particularly as SENCO or Maths subject leader).
