Teacher

Class Teacher / Intervention Teacher

Full Time

An exciting opportunity to join a growing, ambitious and highly inclusive primary school.

We are looking for a skilled, committed and adaptable teacher to join our team at St Paul’s.

This is a slightly different teaching opportunity, offering the chance to work across our school initially, before developing into either a class teacher or intervention teacher role as our school continues to grow.

We are deliberately keeping both pathways open because we want to find the right person. The skills, experience and strengths of the successful candidate will help shape the future direction of the role.

About St Paul’s

St Paul’s is a growing primary school with high expectations, a strong commitment to inclusion and a determination to provide the very best education and opportunities for our children.

We are proud to support children with a complex and diverse range of needs. Our commitment is simple: **every child is cared for, valued and given the provision, opportunities and support they deserve.**

We recognise that every child is different, and we work hard to adapt our approach to meet their individual needs. This requires patience, flexibility, compassion and high expectations from every member of our team.

Our school has grown from an infant school into a developing primary school, with a thriving Nursery, specialist SEND provision and our SEARCh nurture and intervention hub.

Inclusion is central to our approach. Supporting children's communication, emotional regulation, wellbeing and readiness to learn is an important part of everyday school life. We believe in strong relationships, clear expectations and understanding the individual needs of every child.

Guided by our vision, Learning in God's Love, and our values of Courage, Compassion and Community, we are determined to ensure every child belongs, grows and flourishes.

About the Role

Initially, this will be a teaching role working across the school, providing high-quality teaching to children in different year groups.

The successful candidate will not initially have responsibility for their own class. Instead, they will work alongside our existing teaching team, delivering high-quality lessons, supporting teaching and learning across year groups and ensuring children receive the teaching, support and challenge they need.

This is a qualified teacher role, with a clear focus on excellent teaching and making a difference to children's learning.

As our school continues to expand, the position will develop into one of two pathways:

Class Teacher

Taking responsibility for a class as additional year groups open, delivering an ambitious curriculum and ensuring excellent progress for all children.

Intervention Teacher

Leading high-quality, targeted teaching and interventions across the school, working with individuals and groups of children who would benefit from additional teaching, support or challenge. This would include helping children overcome barriers to learning and make strong academic progress.

We have not predetermined which pathway the role will follow. This will depend on the experience, expertise and strengths of the successful candidate, alongside the developing needs of our school.

Who Are We Looking For?

We are looking for someone who:

- Is an excellent teacher with high expectations for every child.

- Can deliver engaging, high-quality teaching across different primary year groups.

- Is flexible, adaptable and confident working in different classrooms.

- Understands that children learn, communicate and regulate in different ways.

- Has a strong understanding of SEND and inclusive practice, or is committed to developing this expertise.

- Can remain calm, compassionate and consistent when children need additional support.

- Builds strong, positive relationships with children, families and colleagues.

- Is resilient, reflective and willing to find creative solutions.

- Works well as part of a team and is prepared to go above and beyond.

- Believes that every child can succeed when given the right teaching, provision and opportunities.

Above all, we want someone who genuinely cares about children and is determined to make a difference.

What Can We Offer?

- A welcoming, hardworking and supportive staff team.

- A growing school with opportunities for professional development.

- The opportunity to shape the future direction of your role.

- Access to specialist SEND expertise and collaborative working.

- A leadership team that understands the realities of working in a highly inclusive school.

- A school that invests in its children, staff and provision.

- The opportunity to make a meaningful difference to children's learning and development.

Why St Paul’s?

We are proud of our school, the progress we are making and the opportunities we provide for our children.

We recognise that working in a highly inclusive school requires flexibility, resilience and a strong understanding of children's individual needs. Our staff work collaboratively, maintain high expectations and are committed to finding the right approaches for every child.

We want to appoint someone who shares our commitment to our children, brings the right skills and experience, and will play an important part in the next stage of our school's development.

Visits to the school are warmly encouraged. Come and meet our team and see our approach in practice.

We reserve the right to interview and appoint prior to the closing date.
