Floating Teacher

Wetherby Kensington is currently looking for a forward-thinking, inspirational and enthusiastic floating teacher to join our team from September 2019.

This is an exciting opportunity for a qualified, imaginative and driven teacher who works with equal efficacy independently and as part of a team. The floating teacher will support our Head of Learning Support and class teachers in the planning and delivery of the boys’ learning across all levels. The role will involve working across all year groups within the school. The floating teacher will take maths and English interventions as well as teaching some topic lessons. The successful candidate will be an inspirational teacher who is patient, hardworking and committed to providing high quality learning.

Experience of teaching in EYFS, Key Stage 1 or 2 is essential as is a thorough up-to-date knowledge and experience of the curriculum.

Experience and an interest in special educational needs would be desirable.

The Alpha Plus Group has its own salary scale, which is above the Central London Maintained Scale. A salary at the appropriate point on the Teachers’ scale will be offered to the successful candidate and will be commensurate with experience and qualifications.
