Job description

Year 5 Teacher required in a Catholic Primary School in Blackburn

Qualifications: QTS is a necessity and experience with the Key Stage 2 Curriculum is required.

Role: Full-time class teacher role from Easter to Summer.

Catholic Ethos must be upheld.

A Catholic Primary school in the heart of Blackburn has contacted Teaching Personnel to shortlist and appoint a teacher on a temporary basis. The role will commence from April 2025 and run until the end of the Summer. The Head teacher is keen to move quickly with this appointment; however, she needs to ensure that the correct practitioner is appointed. She noted that she would like a teacher who has experience with the Key Stage 2 Curriculum and preferably someone with a specialism in Key Stage 2. The school has a strong Catholic Ethos, and this is something they are proud of and would like to uphold. They are not necessarily looking for a practitioner who is Catholic but would need the appointed candidate to uphold the faith.

Within the class, there are 30 children with various needs, ranging from lower to higher ability for the age group. The expectation will be that you undertake the full role of the class teacher: planning, delivering, and assessing the needs of the children. There will be opportunities to plan within the week and take release time to ensure all planning and marking is covered.

The role will be full-time.

The school is graded GOOD by Ofsted but will be subject to a re-inspection in the next year or so. It will be essential that the appointed teacher is prepared and experienced enough to confidently cope with the high expectations in school.

If you are interested in this role and would like to be put forward for shortlisting, please do not hesitate to contact me.

All applicants will require the appropriate qualifications and training for this role. Please see the FAQ’s on the Teaching Personnel website for details.
