Are you ready to make a positive difference to children’s learning?

If the answer is yes, you could be the passionate teacher we're looking for to join our team.

This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and dynamic teacher to make a meaningful impact in the lives of our year 3 children. You would be working with approximately 20 lower key stage 2 children with TA support, mornings only Monday - Friday.   

This post is temporary until the end of the academic year, in the first instance. We would consider a later start date for the right candidate.

We believe that children come first and we ensure their experiences at school help them to thrive in education. The ideal candidate will have a passion for providing rich and exciting learning opportunities both in the classroom and outside, making learning irresistible.

This presents an excellent opportunity for the right candidate to work in our two form entry school which has a proven record of supporting teachers in their career development and includes a comprehensive induction. 

Our children achieve academic success but we work hard to develop them as well-rounded, responsible young people who will positively contribute to society in the future. Our THRIVE values: Teamwork, Health, Responsibility, Integrity, Value Everyone and Empathy help us to guide and support the children as they develop the skills and resilience which will equip them to overcome challenges that they may face in life.

Our motto 'Be Your Best You' allows children to aspire to achieving the very best standards in both their learning and their behaviours.

As a federation, we invest in the professional development of our team and personalise what we offer according to level of experience and career aspirations. 

We are looking for a team player who works well with others and values the home/school partnership. Most importantly you will be someone who shows a genuine interest in children and who invests in all aspects of their learning and development.

See us in Action - Visits to the school are encouraged. Please contact the school office for an appointment and more information. Any questions relating to the role prior to application can be sent via email to: office@river.kent.sch.uk.
