About the Role
At Manor Park Primary Academy, we are looking to appoint a KS1 Class Teacher & Phonics Lead to join us for September 2024. Ultimately, we are looking for someone who is up for a challenge and wants to get stuck in with all aspects of our academy life! This could be a fantastic opportunity for an experienced teacher looking for more responsibilities to support their career development.
The successful candidate will be responsible for providing leadership and management of the school’s key stage phonics and early reading curriculum, delivering high-quality teaching and effective use of resources. You will work to improve learning standards and achievement for all pupils in their subject and key stages, whilst also carrying out their duties as a classroom teacher. You will be an integral part of the Senior leadership Team, contributing to the school development plan and to whole school strategic planning. You will offer guidance and support to key stage teaching staff, modelling best practices and showing up-to-date knowledge of current theory and practice.
We are looking for a candidate who is:
- A class teacher with high expectations of all pupils, who can engage and inspire the learning behaviours that will support all in achieving their best.
- An excellent practitioner, keen to work in a supportive and principle-based school.
- Driven by a strong moral purpose to enable all children to achieve and have integrity.
- Passionate about solving challenges and have a sense of humour.
- Warm in character, easy to work with and committed to teamwork, recognising that more can be achieved together than is possible as individuals.
- Keen to be challenged to become the best you can be.
- Determined to succeed with a positive attitude.
- Committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
- Able to collaborate with others to develop the whole team.
- Looking for a fresh challenge to develop their skills, ready for future Senior Leadership.
In return we can offer you:
- The chance to be part of a Multi-Academy Trust that genuinely cares about YOU.
- The chance to work with a supportive team.
- An excellent CPD training programme with REAch2 and beyond.
- A tenacious and experienced senior leadership team who care fervently about inclusion and promote creativity and thinking outside of the box.
- Fun-loving, energetic and enthusiastic pupils (and staff).
- Proactive parents who are very supportive of our school
- As part of REAch2 employee benefits we also offer an eye care scheme, access to an Employee Assistance Programme for you and your immediate family and membership of ‘perks at work’ – which includes discounts on holidays, shopping, family days out and much more.
Are you a teacher who believes in learning without limits? Do you want the opportunity to be part of a great teaching team and develop your career further? Are you passionate that all children deserve the very best learning opportunities? If so, we would love to hear from you!
