What skills and experience we're looking for

Are you a passionate educator who can create a nurturing environment where every child feels safe, valued, and empowered to thrive? At Townley School, we are seeking a dedicated individual to join our team. Can you foster a setting where children not only experience success and take pride in their learning but also develop a genuine love for reading and learning? If so, we would love to hear from you.

Dragonflies is a remarkable class where children cultivate a deep sense of belonging, forge meaningful friendships, and relish being part of a collaborative group. Here, children work together with trust and enthusiasm, developing confidence in themselves and their abilities. They are encouraged to take risks, trust in their capabilities, and effectively regulate their emotions using appropriate strategies.

Our learning environment extends beyond the traditional classroom. We offer opportunities for children to connect with nature through our forest school programme, engage in hands-on activities such as making apple juice, and contribute positively to their community through collaborative actions, including caring for shared spaces and assisting others.

Every day in Dragonflies is viewed as a fresh start, ensuring that each child can trust the adults around them while feeling understood and supported. We empower our students to build independence, develop self-advocacy skills, and confidently seek help when required. This collaborative spirit is not limited to the classroom; it extends to a strong partnership with families who play a vital role in their child's education. Our Enhanced Resource Base fully supports this initiative, helping to rebuild trust between families and the school, ensuring that parents and carers feel safe and valued as partners in their child's journey.

At Townley, we are committed to fostering a nurturing, inspiring, and inclusive environment where children flourish—academically, socially, and emotionally. Our goal is to ensure that they are well-prepared to embrace their futures with confidence and hope.

Teaching at Townley offers a uniquely rewarding experience. Our dedicated team is committed to ensuring every child reaches their full potential. We provide the right candidate with flexible working arrangements, ongoing support, supervision, and training opportunities.
