Advert

The Governing Body of St Thomas' Catholic Primary School (Voluntary Aided) are looking to employ a Year 1 Class Teacher on a fixed term contract of one year (September 2017 - August 2018) whilst we continue to recruit a new outstanding Deputy Headteacher. Should a new Deputy Headteacher be appointed for January 2018, this role will change from Class Teacher to Leadership and Management Cover (e.g. covering two days Deputy Headteacher release time, etc.).

Since our Ofsted inspection, we have embarked upon a new journey, not only to sustain our 'Outstanding' status, but to further develop and enrich our exciting curriculum, providing opportunities for creativity and risk taking - thinking outside the box!

This is a great opportunity for someone who is keen to develop within a school family which is a friendly and culturally diverse Catholic community. Applicants need not be of the Catholic faith but must be supportive of the ethos of the school.

NQTs and experienced teachers are welcome to apply.

We are looking for someone who:

  • Is an excellent, inspirational teacher who can bring out the best in the children so that all pupils make very good progress
  • Is well organised with high expectations of achievement and behaviour
  • Is a practising Catholic/Christian or supportive of the ethos of the school
  • Is an enthusiastic and excellent team member.

In return, we can offer:

  • Friendly and enthusiastic pupils who are eager to learn and display outstanding behaviour as recognised by Ofsted
  • Hard working supportive staff who are committed to the wellbeing of the pupils entrusted in our care
  • A supportive and highly effective Governing Body
  • Opportunities for career development
  • Professional development within an informal collaboration of six primary schools (EduCant).

At St Thomas' Catholic Primary School, we see it as our role to develop and nurture the 'whole child', whilst recognising their unique qualities that each individual brings to our community.

Visits to the school are strongly recommended. Contact Mr Devine at the school for an appointment: jdevine@st-thomas-canterbury.kent.sch.uk.

Please apply using the Catholic Education Service application form and associated documents, all of which are available as part of this advert for downloading and completing.
