Job description

What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking an exceptional primary class teacher to join our dedicated, welcoming team at South Baddesley CE Primary School and Nursery. Initially offered as a one-year maternity cover, this role comes at an exciting time as we continue to embed our school strengths, grow our unique curriculum, and further enhance our approach to personal and professional development.

A central highlight of our school life is our outdoor learning programme. This year, we are fully embedding the use of our school farm to offer a rich, experiential curriculum. Furthermore, we actively collaborate with local partner schools, making this an outstanding opportunity for an educator looking to consolidate their teaching expertise or develop leadership skills within a supportive wider network.

What the school offers its staff

What We Offer

• Comprehensive Handover & Induction: A fully supported 1-month transition period in January, working directly alongside current classroom teachers, with immediate access to high-quality planning resources, guidance, and tools.
• Flexible Working: While advertised as part-time, we welcome applications from candidates seeking full-time roles or specific working patterns. Finding the right teacher for our pupils and staff team is our primary focus.
• Professional Growth: Tailored support from experienced colleagues, including dedicated teacher mentors and Inclusion leaders, with genuine opportunities to lead whole-school projects and collaborate externally.

In addition you will receive:

• Full Curriculum & PPA Support: Complete, high-quality planning resources provided alongside guaranteed, blocked PPA time to protect your work-life balance.
• Staff Well being Perks: Corporate membership to a prestigious, local health club right on our doorstep.
• A Vibrant School Community: Delightful, enthusiastic children and a warm, supportive, and happy school environment.

Commitment to safeguarding

We are committed to safeguarding children and all employees, governors and volunteers are subject to robust employment checks. We delivery regular, topical safeguarding briefings and train all staff annually on KCSiE (Keeping Children Safe in Education). We have an internal online portal enabling all staff to report any concerns immediately and we have two Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSL's) in school. A third member of staff has undergone the DSL training purely for the purpose of auditing our processes and challenging DSL decisions. We are very proud of the strong safeguarding culture we have developed.
