What skills and experience we're looking for
At St Andrew’s, we believe that education is about more than lessons in a classroom -it’s about sparking curiosity, building confidence, and giving every child the best possible start in life and flourish in all they do.
This role would be particularly well-suited to an Early Career Teacher, who would receive strong support, mentoring and professional development opportunities within our experienced and collaborative team.
We are looking for someone who can nurture and inspire our children, foster a love of learning, and make a profound difference to their lives. We are immensely proud of our School Trust – we live our vision by working collectively as a family of schools with a shared responsibility for all children. By working as a Hub (alongside Gulworthy Academy, Lifton Community Academy and Lamerton C of E Academy) and as part of the wider School Trust, we empower each other to deliver an exceptional curriculum offer that is fully rooted in our Christian values.
This is a great opportunity to be part of a wider team of teachers not just in the West Devon Hub, but across the wider Trust who develop practice and share expertise for the benefit of all children. We value the diversity of skills and perspectives that every teacher brings and are committed to supporting a healthy life balance for all our colleagues. We’re happy to explore flexible working arrangements and discuss what that might look like for you.
