Reception Teacher (Part Time 4 days per week, One Year Contract)

Our aim is to provide an excellent and nurturing environment where young learners thrive. We pride ourselves on the happy, safe and caring learning atmosphere that enable children to really enjoy school.

Reception Teacher (Part Time) Vacancy, One Year Contract

Due to the expansion, a Reception teacher is required in this successful, happy and thriving school starting September 2023. Applicants from the maintained sector as well as the Independent Sector are warmly encouraged to apply as well as ECTs. We are looking for a part time teacher to cover 4 days a week; however, we will consider full time applications, for the right candidate.

The successful candidate should be able to build our pupils’ confidence and curiosity and have expert curriculum knowledge and an insatiable appetite for learning.

Those applying should prove that they have a passion for teaching, have a track record of success which would enhance The Villa’s academic culture and have excellent pastoral skills that ensure the happiness and wellbeing of our pupils, which we put at the heart of all that we do. An understanding of the 7+ process is desirable but not essential. The position would suit teachers who are able to motivate pupils of all abilities to reach their full potential and help them to thrive.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate a desire to work independently and as a part of the Pre-Prep team, it is vital that they will fit in well with the hardworking nature of the existing staff. A good understanding of, and a commitment to the ethos of, an independent education will be important, but it is not essential to have worked in a preparatory school in the past.

Applicants are welcome to arrange an informal discussion / tour of the school by appointment.

The Villa is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service. The Villa is an equal opportunities employer
