Cover/PPA Teacher

We are looking for a cover teacher to join our team at Hill Farm Primary School.

We are very proud of our dedicated and caring staff team; hard-working and well-behaved children; vibrant learning environment and supportive parents and carers. We are committed to ensuring that children of all abilities and backgrounds achieve their very best in everything they do. We are also committed to growing the talent in all our staff, enabling them to flourish and succeed.

This is either a full time or part time post to cover classes for PPA and staff release from Reception to year 6. This is not a class teacher post so the successful candidate will be creative with a very positive, ‘can do’ attitude, committed to raising aspiration.

You will be joining us at an exciting time as we build on our strengths and our ‘Good’ Ofsted rating from our last inspection in May 2019. We are looking forward to exciting developments within our skills based curriculum and the continuation of ‘The Hill Farm Promise – 101 experiences’ that inspire and embolden our children. Being part of the Castle Phoenix Trust has already seen us benefit from CPD links and opportunities to collaborate. The Trust prides itself on being the kind of place people want to work where everyone recognises the buzz of excitement and togetherness, whatever stage they are at in their career.   

We are looking for you to:

• Cover in class for all year groups
• Be passionate about children’s learning
• Be dedicated, organised and enthusiastic
• Be committed to adding value and achieving progress for all pupils
• Enjoy being creative and having fun with our pupils
• Make a difference to the prospects of all our pupils

As a large, three form entry primary school working, as part of a multi-academy trust, we can offer:

• Children who enjoy learning
• The opportunity to work alongside experienced leaders
• A pledge to grow your talent through quality CPD with the support of our Trust and its Teaching School
• Clear succession planning to enable staff to develop leadership skills for the future
• A commitment to staff wellbeing and recognition
• Dedicated and caring staff
• A range of benefits which includes cycle to work and childcare voucher schemes, free parking and an employee discount scheme.

If you are looking for a rewarding role where you can really make a difference, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!

Visits and applications: The Headteacher, Dawn Wilson, would be delighted to meet you and talk about the opportunity. Please email marie.meszar@castlephoenixtrust.org.uk to book onto a visit.

Closing date: 9.00am 17th April 2023
