What skills and experience we're looking for

The Corpus Christi Federation is looking to appoint a highly motivated, enthusiastic and innovative teacher for September 2026, or sooner if possible, to teach in our EYFS classroom. In September 2025, St Helens opened a new nursery. A restructure of the school allowed for nursery and reception children to be taught in our new EYFS classroom. We are looking for a motivated, inspirational teacher who exudes passion and enthusiasm for the EYFS to create a wonderful learning environment for our youngest children.

Our school members and staff team have a strong sense of community, moral purpose and strive to foster good relationships with parents. Our school community works together as a team and is also committed to working collaboratively in partnership as a Federation and across our wider community. The Federation schools are small schools with a PAN of 20; the schools are a central part of the community. The schools are on a journey of improvement, and we are looking for a class teacher to support us in achieving the consistent and high-quality education we are striving for.

We are seeking to appoint a teacher who:

• Will be fully supportive of the Catholic ethos of our school
• Is an excellent classroom practitioner
• Has high expectations of pupil’s achievement and behaviour
• Is well organised with excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Is enthusiastic and able to work as part of a team
• Is committed to raising standards and ensuring children meet their full potential
• Will inspire children to enjoy learning
• Is flexible and adaptable
• Has experience of teaching in EYFS
