Job description

Phoenix Primary School is a diverse, vibrant and proudly compassionate community where children demonstrate remarkable resilience, warmth and spirit. We are entering an exciting period of school development, creating an opportunity to rethink how we work together, strengthen our practice and build a team that reflects our ambitions for the future. At Phoenix, our values remain at the heart of everything we do, and we are committed to building on our strengths while embracing new ideas, fresh perspectives and opportunities for growth.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated KS2 Class Teacher to join us at this important stage in our school's development. We are seeking a skilled practitioner with strong Key Stage 2 experience who can contribute positively to the evolving structure of our team. You will bring excellent classroom practice, a secure understanding of the KS2 curriculum and a commitment to ensuring that all children make strong progress and achieve their potential. With a collaborative approach and a willingness to help shape the routines, communication and shared expectations that enable a year group to thrive, you will play an active role in developing a consistent, ambitious and supportive approach to teaching and learning, preparing our children for the next stage of their education.

We are not simply filling a role; we are intentionally shaping the team we want to become. As part of our ongoing development, we are reviewing how responsibilities are shared, how colleagues work together and how our collective strengths can best support the needs of our children. We want to build a team with a clear sense of purpose, complementary skills and a shared commitment to high-quality teaching, professional growth and positive relationships. We welcome colleagues who are excited by the opportunity to contribute ideas, influence practice and help create a strong, cohesive team for the future.

In return we offer:

• A comprehensive induction programme.
• Growing well-being team with Mental Health Lead supporting children and staff
• A Healthy Work-Life Balance and a committed SLT
• A happy and caring community.
• Care First employee assistance programme
• Non-contributory membership of Benenden private health care cover
• Membership of the Teachers Pension Scheme
• Two-week, half-term break in October
• Cycle to work scheme

Visits to the school are strongly encouraged. For further information and to arrange a school visit, please contact Jo Penn on 01634 829009 or via email [e-mail]

We reserve the right to bring forward the closing date where interest and applications received are high, therefore we encourage early applications.
