Somers Heath Primary School is looking for a dynamic and driven teacher to lead a year group and a subject area across our school. Our well-behaved children need teachers who believe that all children, no matter their background, deserve an exceptional education.
Somers Heath is a two-form entry primary school with a newly refurbished building and a large site. This role will be a lead teacher for a year group and a whole school subject leader.

- Access to our "Catalyst Employee Perks" platform where you will be able to access a range of discounts from regular supermarkets, numerous retailers, family days out, restaurants and more.
- Excellent support networks.
- Career development as a priority, with 80% of senior leaders in The Trust being promoted from within.
