We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic Class Teacher to join our hard working and supportive team.
St Wilfrid’s is a small, successful and happy school, combining a caring Catholic ethos with enthusiastic learners. Behaviour is good due to our commitment to high expectations and a positive approach to learning.
This role suits a Teacher who is passionate about making an impact in the classroom and contributing to the wider development of our school.
You will work in a warm, friendly and caring environment, and play an essential role in our school, in order to make our belief of Aim High, Believe and Achieve a reality. St Wilfrid’s is part of the Bosco Catholic Education Trust, providing great career progression and CPD opportunities.
Do I have to be Catholic to work in a Catholic school?
No! Our Catholic Faith is what makes St Wilfrid’s so special and it is woven into everything we do; this includes welcoming everyone that comes through our doors. Only 47.5% of teachers in Catholic schools are Catholic, so we welcome people of all faith background and none into our community.
For certain Leadership positions (eg. Headteacher, Deputy Headteacher and Head of Religious Education) there is a requirement that the position be filled by a practicing Catholic in order to maintain the Catholic ethos of the school. This is in line with Equalities Act 2010.
Main purpose
The teacher will:
- Fulfil the professional responsibilities of a teacher, following the Code of Conduct and the Staff Handbook
- Meet the expectations set out in the Teachers’ Standards
Visits to the school are positively encouraged – we would love to meet you and show you around! Please contact the school office to discuss this further and find a convenient time.
