Are you passionate about changing the life chances of young people?

Dear Colleague,

Thank you for your interest in our advertised class teacher role. We are looking to appoint an exceptional candidate to our dedicated school team. The successful candidate will be presented with the opportunity to progress within the school if demonstrating the right impact

This is an opportunity to establish a Nursery from grass roots - being the first teacher of the Nursery Class at Mason Moor Primary School.

We are keen to receive applications from early career teachers or experienced Nursery Leaders – we know that these candidates add a powerful dynamic to school that will support our continued growth and development.

Information about our school:

We are a small (one and a half form entry) primary school situated in the Millbrook ward of Southampton. We serve an increasingly diverse community and one where deprivation is high with many of our parents and carers living on Southampton’s largest social-housing estate.

In September 2022, we welcomed a new headteacher and newly established senior team. In September 2023, we aim to open a newly established Nursery provision.

Our offer to every teacher:

• Bespoke professional development opportunities.
• Cutting-edge technology for the planning and delivery of lessons. Use of multi-collaboration platforms to simplify the process of lesson planning.
• A device to help your planning, preparation and assessment.
• A ‘Staff wellbeing charter’ with perks including, a paid days leave throughout the year for personal wellbeing. A commitment to reduce planning.
• The introduction of a new curriculum for non-core subjects that includes the sequential planning, learning resources and visuals.

Application information:

Your interview day is a mutual process aligned to helping you to decide if this is the school to advance your career in. We aim to make the day as supportive as possible. Any questions pre or post application can be sent to Monica Longhurst, our school business manager. (mlonghurst@masonmoorprimary.co.uk).

Conversations with the Headteacher are encouraged. It would be expected that the post holder can demonstrate strongly the competencies outlined in this post definition to be shortlisted for interview by the Governing Body.

As part of our safer recruitment routines (KCSIE 2022) para 220: we are conducting online presence checks for the internet and you will be asked for social media handles if shortlisted.

All candidates will be expected to undertake an enhanced DBS disclosure and relevant checks in conjunction with Keeping Children Safe in Education 2022.
