Do you strive to make a difference to the place you work and the pupils you support?

Would you like to be part of a small, active, supportive and friendly team?

Are you a positive, inspirational and motivated person?

If the answer is yes to all of these, we would love for you to come and work in our school!

We welcome applications from all teachers no matter what experience you have. Our children deserve to have the best teacher! 

Due to our teacher relocating, we are looking to appoint someone to teach our class of 23 lovely year 3 and 4 children. Ideally, we would like a teacher to start in Term 2 but we are willing to wait for the right person. (Please put your preferred availability in your application) Not only do you need to be an amazing teacher but we are also looking for the right person to be our Learning Outside the Classroom Leader, as this approach to learning underpins our curriculum. An interest in Science would also be a bonus.

We want the best person for the role so are happy to be flexible with the number of working days. Please come and visit and have a conversation regarding this, or telephone the school for an informal discussion about what you might be able to offer.   

More information regarding Learning Outside the Classroom can be found at: lotc.org.uk

There are plenty of opportunities for CPD from within the school, through external training and using the expertise of other schools which form part of the CARE Foundation Trust.

We need someone who has high expectations and a drive to improve outcomes for our children. The applicant should be a good team player but also be self-motivated and able to act upon his or her own initiative. We need someone who is passionate about teaching KS2 and can be creative in their teaching approach.

The ideal applicant should have a good understanding of child development and of how children learn, and be able to enthuse, engage and challenge children in their learning journey. Please see our person specification for more information about the skills and experiences we are looking for.

You must be prepared to work both indoors and outdoors in order to support learners in a range of environments, even on cold days as we make use of our surroundings - which include our forest school.. You should understand that working in a small school often means going the extra mile without being asked, because it benefits the whole community - especially the pupils.

We can offer you:

  • A friendly ‘family’ ethos
  • A well resourced working environment
  • A staff team that is caring and committed to ensuring children’s maximum achievement
  • Delightful pupils to teach and supportive governors and parents.
  • The opportunity to take PPA at home

Visits to the school are highly recommended. Please contact the school office on 01233 812614 or email office@brook-ashford.kent.sch.uk to arrange a visit.
