Job overview

We are looking to appoint a suitably qualified infant teacher to join our team of Year 1 class teachers on a full-time fixed-term basis from 1 January 2020 to 31 August 2020 in the first instance.  This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, forward-thinking professional to join our highly committed teaching team.  We want you to not only be able to teach to a very high standard but also to be innovative and creative in your approach, adapting your teaching style to ‘how children learn best’ and be committed to the school’s flexible and varied approaches to learning, and to its well known high standards.

At Lady Barn, infant form teachers take their class for Maths, English and other subjects apart from those which are taught by specialists (Music, ICT, Science, PE/Games, Foreign Languages, Drama and Art/Design Technology).  Since the school offers a broad PE and Games programme, a willingness and ability to contribute in this area will be welcome.

There are up to 22 boys and girls in each class and an assigned class teaching assistant.  Each year group has three classes creating a team who work together on planning and other year group/department initiatives. The form teacher will report directly into the relevant Head of Department (Infants) who is also a form teacher.

The school is a particularly supportive, friendly and child-centred place in which to work.  Our children work hard, try their best and are well behaved, so are very rewarding to work with.  Partnership with parents is active and very positive.

PROCEDURE FOR APPLICATION

Applications should be made using the school’s standard application form and should include;

 A completed application form (CV’s are not an acceptable alternative) including the names, addresses, e-mail and telephone numbers of two professional referees, one of which should be your current or most recent employer.

 The application form includes the opportunity for you to set out the reasons why you are applying for the post and what you have to offer us.  This can EITHER be completed on the form OR in a separate letter.

Applications should be addressed to the Head, Mr Turner, and sent to Lady Barn House School, Schools Hill, Cheadle, SK8 1JE.  Email applications may be sent to secretary@ladybarnhouse.org.

(We remind you that postage is now partly based on the size of the envelope. Insufficient postage is likely to delay delivery to us which might mean you miss the deadline.)

The closing date for applications is 10am on Monday 14 October 2019.  It is anticipated that interviews will be held on Thursday 17 October 2019.  If you have not heard from us by this date then, regrettably, you may assume that your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion.

Applicants called to interview will be required to bring evidence of their identity and qualifications.  References will be taken for those candidates considered for the shortlist, following confirmation from you that you are happy for us to do so.

The appointment will be conditional subject to all satisfactory pre-appointment checks being completed and confirmation of academic qualifications.  The post will be confirmed on receipt of all references and of a satisfactory outcome from an enhanced DBS check.  Please note that the school’s Safeguarding Policy is available on the school website and should be studied by all applicants for this post.

Please contact the school and ask to speak to Ms Brookes-Ward, Head of Infants, if you have any further questions in advance of an application.  There will be an opportunity to visit the school prior to making an application on Wednesday 9 October at 4.30pm.  Please email Kelly Gardner at secretary@ladybarnhouse.org to confirm your attendance.

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect that all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
