We are seeking a dedicated teacher ready to manage their own room, deliver engaging and inclusive lessons, work seamlessly with support staff, and contribute to the broader life of the school.

• SEND & EAL Inclusion: Work alongside the SENCO and inclusion team to embed practical adjustments, sensory tools, and tailored scaffolding for pupils with additional learning needs.

• Curriculum Command: Strong practical knowledge of the primary curriculum, adaptive teaching techniques, and positive behaviour reinforcement strategies.
• Personal Demeanour: An encouraging, patient, and resilient classroom presence capable of building strong rapport while maintaining high behavioural standards.

• Compliance Checks: Holds an Enhanced Child Workforce DBS registered on the Update Service (or readiness to complete a new check via Randstad).
