Advert

Need a change?  Are you a little tired of managing behaviour and want to teach in a place where children love to learn?  Where most of your planning is in place ready for your adaptations?  Where there is strong support from your team and where the grounds are like a countryside walk?  Loose Primary really does deliver this and we are looking for someone to join us from September.  We have an incredible team here and some of the most delightful children you will ever work with, who model our strong values of compassion, trust, respect, pride and determination.  We believe potential is limitless and this includes you.

We are looking for someone who loves the children and puts them at the heart of every day.  Someone who understands teaching and assessment and who can bring learning to life and work effectively in a job share capacity.  With children who have a thirst for learning, you really will be challenged to get the very best from them, and rightly so.  If you can picture yourself leading an exhibition of children's learning in a museum, running projects in the community with the children or engaging with professionals to support children's learning, we really do want you here to join us on our journey to excellence.

This is a fixed term post, for a full academic year.  The post is for a part time teacher looking for 1 or 2 days a week.  Please make this explicit on your application.

A knowledge of SoundsWrite would be advantageous, but most importantly - someone who loves to teach children.

Candidates must have Qualified Teacher Status.  This post is open to ECTs.

The benefits of joining Coppice Primary Partnership:

• Children who are articulate, fun, willing and eager to learn
• Access to private healthcare, including 24 hr GP access
• Annual flu jab offered to staff
• A family-first approach - cover to ensure that you don't miss important family events
• Free access to wraparound care for primary aged children attending trust schools.  This includes access to the holiday play scheme when staff are working, including for children who attend other schools
• All staff have access to Kent Rewards, a site offering cashback, discounts and vouchers for a range of popular high street stores
• Throughout the year, school and trust wide social events are held.  These will all be optional, but we believe in developing relationships and social events can certainly help!  Events will be informal affairs, usually in informal settings and are open to all staff
• An opportunity to share a real, relevant and engaging curriculum
• A large, modern and well-resourced primary school, set in excellent grounds

Applications will be considered in the order in which they are received, which may lead to earlier interviews / job offer.

This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of all children, and expects our staff and volunteers to share this commitment.  Appointments made are subject to a check from the Disclosure and Barring Service.
