As a Trust and as a school, we pride ourselves on being the kind of place that people want to work in where everyone recognises the buzz of excitement and togetherness, whatever stage they are at in their career. We are focused upon impacting positively upon our children and we want them to be proud of themselves and proud of their achievements by the time they leave Richard Lee and move onto the next stage in their learning journey. So why not come and join our team!

We are looking for someone who:

• Is a highly motivated, innovative and highly effective teacher of Key Stage 1 or Key Stage 2 with a willingness to teach across both phases
• Has an inclusive ethos with children at the heart of teaching and learning
• Has the ability to inspire, and enthuse

• A range of benefits which include cycle to work, free parking, an employee discount scheme, a laptop/iPad and access to the on‑site swimming pool.
• A strong commitment to staff wellbeing and recognition.
• Annual Learning & Teaching Conference for all Teaching Staff.

We are proud to be part of Castle Phoenix Trust. This facilitates an opportunity to play to your strengths and provide excellent collaboration between colleagues and leaders, access to effective CPD and the chance to develop professionally.
