What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking for an enthusiastic, reflective and creative teacher to be part of our continued commitment to excellence and enjoyment for all our children. We have high expectations of ourselves as well as the children and are proud that this was recognised by Ofsted.

We are a very happy, successful and forward-thinking school where children work hard and behave well. We were delighted that this was recognised in our recent Ofsted Inspection (June 2025) which says ‘Pupils love their school. There is a strong sense of community and belonging’. The wellbeing of our children and staff is at the heart of all we do and it is genuinely a nice place to work! ‘Staff are rightly proud to work here. They feel well supported to develop professionally and to manage their well-being.’ (Ofsted)

What the school offers its staff

We can offer you

• A supportive staff, parent and governor community plus fantastic, hardworking children. The class are an absolute delight.
• Weekly PPA time with your year group and ongoing professional development, including additional release time/training opportunities. You’d actually only be teaching 2.5 days!
• The chance to work in partnership with experienced colleagues. The job share for the class is our Assistant Head and they are on school every day, helping to facilitate an excellent handover.
• An exciting curriculum to teach, which is planned collaboratively. We are always eager to take on new ideas too and are proud to offer learning through initiatives such as Let’s Think in English.
• A positive school community, where teamwork is a real strength and staff wellbeing is important. We have high expectations of both children and our staff but also believe that everyone’s experience of school should be successful and memorable too!
• A very well-resourced school with extensive grounds, Forest School and excellent facilities for learning.

Flexible working opportunities

In exceptional circumstances and by prior authorised, it may be possible to swap a working day with the job share on the odd occasion.

Further information about the job

The candidate will be required to undergo a full enhanced DBS check and must be eligible to work in the UK.

Visas cannot be sponsored.

If you're interested in teaching or training to teach in England as an international citizen, we can help you understand your next steps.

Commitment to safeguarding

Heatherside Junior School and Hampshire County Council are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We will ensure that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment.
