Class Teacher job summary

As a teacher you will be flexible and open to change... whilst we take year group preferences into account each year, we believe that it is important to keep learning and developing across the primary phase.

Ideally we are looking for someone with a few years of experience under their belt, who we hope will 'hit the ground running' and come with strong ideas... we are welcoming of initiatives that will help us to build on our successes and work on our next steps.

However we welcome applications from those who have the determination to succeed and meet all the essential criteria.

We aren't your 'typical' school and you are encouraged to visit us to see why!

In any role at Oakfield, we look for, nurture, value and expect...

  • Resilience — Bouncing back when things are challenging. Learning from mistakes to make it even better next time
  • Creativity — Thinking of new ideas that have value. Using initiative, experimenting, taking risks, innovating, making links and problem solving.
  • Self Management — Planning & prioritising, being organised, taking responsibility and developing confidence.
  • Collaboration - Working effectively a team through sharing, agreeing & debating, talking & listening, contributing & team work.
  • Empathy — Understanding others through being compassionate, not judging but supporting all.
  • Curiosity- Taking an interest, asking questions, inspiring & enquiring, listening and explaining.
  • Reflection — Thinking deeply, reviewing and improving through the setting of targets, evaluating & analysing our learning

We recognise that this role isn't for everyone, but if you've made it this far and you're still reading, we'd love to hear from you.

We have:

  • Biscuits in the tin, coffee in the machine (it also makes hot chocolate!) and lots of treats on the staff room table!
  • A commitment to ensuring a strong work-life balance (including flexible working initiatives during PPA)
  • A lively "work-hard - play hard" talented team
  • Supportive and active leaders - including the governing body - with high expectations but warm approach
  • A very supportive PTA
  • Talented children that deserve you!

We want to hear from you if you believe that you have the skills and experience to make your mark, but most importantly, to make a difference.

We welcome visits to the school, to arrange please contact us.

If you are interested in this position, please submit your application as soon as possible as we reserve the right to interview exceptional applicants before the closing date.
