​What does it mean to be a Year 1 teacher at Gladstone Park?

At Gladstone Park, we get stuck in, we don’t sit still and we aim to be 1% better every day. These aren’t just phrases on a wall - they describe the kind of people who thrive here.

We are looking for a brilliant teacher who wants to become part of our school, not simply teach in a classroom. Someone who brings energy and warmth, has high expectations of every child and is always looking to improve their craft. Our staff share ideas, ask for help, offer help, reflect when things don’t go to plan and celebrate one another when they do. Most importantly, they care deeply about giving our children the very best education and experiences we possibly can.

This may be a maternity-cover role, but we want someone who will throw themselves into Gladstone Park life: someone who will build relationships, contribute to our community and make their mark. If you are positive, ambitious, reflective and the sort of person who would rather get stuck in than stand on the sidelines, we would love to hear from you.
