CLAREMONT PRIMARY SCHOOL IS LOOKING FOR A COVER TEACHER

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a teacher to join our team as a cover teacher. This position is to cover a maternity absence and to start in September. It is for 3 days per week (0.6 FTE). We are looking for a creative and inspiring teacher with the energy, commitment and innovation (and a good sense of fun) to deliver a broad and balanced curriculum to classes across the school including EYFS, Year 1, year 3 and year 4. 

Do you demonstrate a strong commitment to high-quality first teaching? If so, we would love to hear from you. You will be part of a strong, friendly and dedicated team who value professional dialogue and shared responsibility. 

At Claremont, we place great importance on positive mental and physical wellbeing, alongside educational excellence for every child. Our pupils are well behaved, hardworking and a joy to teach, supported by an encouraging governing body and an active, engaged parent community. We pride ourselves on our collaborative ethos, where every one is encouraged to be confident, curious and creative.

If you would like to find out more, please visit our website or contact the school to arrange an informal conversation or Teams call. We would be delighted to speak with you.

Please note: we reserve the right to close this vacancy early and amend interview dates should we receive a high volume of applications.
