Post Details
We are looking to appoint a class teacher to job share with a member of staff returning from maternity leave. The post will initially be for a year long contract, with a view to having the candidate join us as a permanent member of the team.
When does it start?
We are looking to appoint for a January 2026 start to allow teachers time to hand in their notice if they are already in employment. However, the vacancy is from November - if the successful candidate is available, we would be able to offer an earlier start date.
Working Days
The vacancy is a 0.6 post, meaning it would be for 3 days a week - preferably from Wednesday to Friday, but this is open to negotiation. The teaching partner also holds a 0.6 contract, enabling both job shares to be at school together on Wednesday.
Who should apply?
Our priority is finding the right candidate for the post so teachers of all experience are warmly encouraged to apply, including ECTs. If you have the qualities we are looking for and are attracted by what we have to offer, we look forward to hearing from you.
Visits to the school are strongly encouraged and warmly welcomed by prior appointment.
