KS1 Class Teacher

At St John’s we have an ambitious vision, shared by staff, governors and parents, which aims to enable our children to develop positive and confident attitudes to learning. Our school is small and because of this we know every child and can help them fulfil their potential to be the best they can be.

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic Key Stage 1 Teacher with strong communication skills, sound phonics knowledge and the desire to inspire children by providing them with excellent educational experiences.

We are looking for:

• an educator who is creative, who can plan and deliver excellent learning experiences
• a teacher who will be able to empower children to help them explore their full potential
• a practitioner who has a genuine love of learning that they can share with our children
• a team player, who will contribute positively to our school community and champion our children
• an individual who will support and uphold the Christian ethos of our school.

We offer:

• wonderful children who simply love to learn
• a connected curriculum approach to learning, focused on developing children’s skills, knowledge and understanding through purposeful activities
• induction for all and CPD tailored to your career development
• a supportive Senior Leadership Team and Governing Body who are committed to developing the leaders of the future
• strong partnerships with families, the local community and the opportunity to work with colleagues across the London Borough of Lambeth through the Brixton Learning Collaborative and the Southwark Diocese of Education
• access to employee benefits through the Health Assurance Programme

This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate and enthusiastic teacher. You can look forward to working with a welcoming and dedicated team of individuals and children who love school and are proud of their achievements.

For a candidate with the relevant experience and expertise there is the opportunity to take a more active role in shaping the future at St John the Divine by taking on leadership responsibilities.
