Primary Teacher

Come along to the Rodillian Multi Academy Trust Recruitment Fair on 27 January 2024 to find out more.

The Featherstone Academy seeks to appoint a primary-trained teacher to support our KS3 students to secure solid numeracy and literacy skills. This is an exciting new role in our secondary academy, as we envisage it helping identified students to transition successfully into secondary school life. The successful candidate will be delivering engaging literacy and numeracy lessons to small groups of students who did not meet expected standards at KS2. You will have the skills to motivate and engage students and a continuous objective to enrich the lives and learning experiences of our young people. We are a small school with an inclusive culture and warm ethos, yet we have big ambitions to be a beacon of learning, aspiration and success for our local community.

The successful candidate will:

• be an excellent practitioner and have good knowledge of the KS2 curriculum; 
• work well as an integral part of a team, valuing the contributions of all;
• be organised, enthusiastic, positive and be prepared to work hard; 
• work flexibly across a number of classes over the week; 
• demonstrate excellent teaching skills;
• plan appropriately and creatively for children’s individual needs and interests; 
• make a positive contribution to the life of the school.

·       BBG Academy, Bradford Road, Birkenshaw, BD19 4BE

·       Brayton Academy, Doncaster Road, Selby, North Yorkshire, YO8 9QS
