We are looking to appoint an experienced and dedicated Primary Teacher to work with a committed team of professionals in our New River College Primary.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a teacher who is looking for a new challenge and has a flexible approach, to join a committed team at New River College.  

The post holder will need to be a confident and effective teacher who can deliver exciting and fun lessons. We are looking for teachers who relish a challenge, who want to try new ideas and genuinely want to contribute to the lives of young people with drive and passion.  

Although most of our pupils are KS2, the ability to work with KS1 pupils is essential as many of our pupils are below national age related literacy and numeracy levels when they arrive.

New River College comprises of three pupil referral units in Islington (primary, secondary and medical) for pupils with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD). We teach children and young people aged five to sixteen years old who have been permanently excluded or participate in our preventative programmes to address their behaviour, and children and young people with complex SEBD or medical needs.  

Our staff work with a number of professionals to support our pupils and the successful applicant will need to have a flexible approach around pastoral care whilst having a strong commitment to improving levels of learning.

For an informal discussion about the post or to arrange a visit of the school please contact Michele Lambert, Deputy Headteacher on 020 7504 0534/ option 2 or michele.lambert@nrc.islington.sch.uk.
