Teacher job summary

We are looking for a teacher for our Year Three class for the remainder of this academic year. The post is fixed-term until August '26.

Most people get into teaching because they want to make a difference. A member of staff once said, "You work here because you think you can change the world." This is very true. The combination of beautiful behaviour and many children who come from deprived backgrounds means that there isn't a school like it in Tonbridge where you can make such a difference to children's lives and get the satisfaction that comes with it, as well as enjoy your work. Benefits include: high quality planning in place for all year groups, we offer a wellbeing day each year to take off whenever you please and breakfast on a Friday morning. There is the opportunity to acrue working from home time in running a club, we protect PPA time ferociously and we ensure that no staff meeting is longer than an hour in our quest to support wellbeing. Processes such as assessment are overhauled as a team to reduce teacher workload.

We are a noisy, energetic and enthusiastic staff with a positive outlook and a very good sense of humour. Our children are lovely; they are enthusastic, well behaved, motivated and ripe for some great learning. We are looking for a teacher to join us who will share our positive outlook. Teachers at Cage Green are people who have a real drive to change the futures of children, provide a safe space to those in need and do the things that make a difference. If you are an ambitious, forward thinking teacher you might just be the right person to join our team of excellent practitioners.

If you want to know more about the school, I would be very pleased to meet you and take you on a tour. Once you see our calm, focused children and the enormous potential they represent, I am sure you will feel the same passion for this school that our staff do. Please contact me, Joanna Styles, Headteacher on 01732 354325.
