DIOCESE OF LEEDS (working with Kirklees Council)

“The way in which this happy, caring school promotes pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is exceptional.” (OFSTED)

The Federated Governing Body of Our Lady of Lourdes and St Patrick’s Catholic Primary Schools invite applications from experienced teachers, as well as newly qualified teachers, who wish to join our happy, successful and hardworking school. We are looking for active, enthusiastic, caring and creative teachers with a willingness to share their faith, skills and love of teaching.

We are looking for classroom practitioners who:

• are hardworking, organised, flexible and enthusiastic
• are able to work as part of a team to achieve the very best for our children
• have high expectations in classroom management
• are able to demonstrate outstanding classroom practice
• are supportive of the Catholic ethos of the school and the care that the school provides

In turn we can offer:

• the opportunity to work across a federation of two schools under the same leadership and governing body
• strong ethos and a sense of mission
• committed, happy, friendly and supportive staff
• enthusiastic children who love learning and school life
• a strong commitment to your continuing professional development as an NQT or experienced teacher

All applicants must be happy to play a full part in the life of our school and actively support the Mission Statement.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All staff are subject to an enhanced DBS check. A conviction may not exclude candidates from appointment but will be considered as part of the recruitment process.

Application forms and further details are available from Mrs Helen Fox or Mrs Krystyna Haywood. Tel: 01484 300800 or email to office.stpatricksbirkby@kirkleeseducation.uk. Candidates are most welcome to arrange a visit to the school by contacting Helen or Krystyna. Please note school is closed for the Spring Bank holiday Monday 29 May to Friday 9 June 2017.

All completed forms (ensuring an up to date email address is included) need to be returned (preferably by email to the office address above) for the attention of the Head Teacher, Mr Harry Rowan, at St Patrick’s school by noon on Wednesday 14 June 2017.

Interviews will take place week commencing 19 June 2017.
