Further details about the role

Due to one of our Year 3 teachers starting maternity leave just before Easter, we are looking to appoint an enthusiastic, dedicated teacher to join our friendly team.

There is some flexibility around the start date, with the possibility of this beginning before the maternity leave commences to allow the successful applicant to work closely with the current class teacher on handover and to get to know the children and school. However, we appreciate that this may not be possible for all candidates – it is very much desirable, but not at all essential.

We reserve the right to withdraw the advert if the successful candidate applies before the closing date.

Commitment to safeguarding

Our organisation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all staff, volunteers and trustees to share this commitment.

Our recruitment process follows the keeping children safe in education guidance.

Offers of employment may be subject to the following checks (where relevant):
childcare disqualification
Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS)
medical
online and social media
prohibition from teaching
right to work
satisfactory references
suitability to work with children

You must tell us about any unspent conviction, cautions, reprimands or warnings under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975.
