About the Role
Following the formation of the Goldfinch Trust, we are delighted to offer an exciting opportunity for an Upper Primary / KS3 Teacher to join St. Peter’s Centre on a one-year fixed-term basis.
This post supports the pilot introduction of an additional classroom, made possible through newly secured funding. This expansion will allow us to support more students and further enhance the high-quality, personalised education we provide.
This is a flexible, part-time role, ideal for someone returning to teaching or seeking a rewarding position where creativity, relationships, and meaningful impact are at the heart of the work.
What You Will Teach
• Core subjects: Maths, English and Science
• PSHE and PE
• Wider curriculum subjects shaped by your interests and specialisms
You will work with small groups of students, enabling highly individualised teaching and strong relationships.
About Our Students
St. Peter’s Centre currently supports up to 16 full-time equivalent pupils who are unable to access mainstream education due to medical, emotional, or mental health needs. With the introduction of an additional morning session, we aim to support up to six additional part-time students.
Our students are:
• Quiet, vulnerable, and often lacking confidence
• Capable of making rapid academic and emotional progress with consistent support
• Frequently successful in progressing to GCSEs and positive next steps
They thrive with staff who bring patience, consistency, and empathy to their role. If you are someone who can build trust and foster resilience, this is the perfect opportunity for you.
