Job description

What skills and experience we’re looking for

Are you passionate about Teaching and Learning and dedicated to making a positive impact on young people’s lives? The team at The Snaith School are looking to appoint a teacher of English who will play a pivotal role in providing a high standard of teaching and learning to support students of all backgrounds and abilities.

Starting in April, the role is 4 days per week, 0.8 FTE, and will be paid on TEAL’s qualified teachers pay scale (points 1 to 9). The role is to cover maternity leave until 31 August 2026, with the possibility of an extension until the October half‑term.

Why choose us?

The Snaith School has 840 pupils rooted in the local community of Snaith and the surrounding villages. We are small enough to feel like a family and we pride ourselves on knowing and appreciating pupils as individuals. Our aim is for our pupils to enjoy school, be happy, confident and successful so that they are able to fulfil their dreams and aspirations. We are ambitious for every child and extremely passionate about maximising life chances. We want all of our pupils to leave us with the best possible outcomes, a wide range of memorable experiences, an abundance of positive memories and lifelong friendships.

Within the Education Alliance Multi Academy Trust, there are lots of opportunities for collaboration and further development and progression. As a trust, we are here to make great schools and happier, stronger communities so that people have better lives.

For too long in many schools, staff have been asked to choose between being seen as good at their job and being a good mum, dad, partner, son, daughter or friend. We are doing everything we can to support our staff to balance the demands of their jobs and those at home.

To support this, we:

• Trust our staff to plan, prepare and assess at the best time for them, allowing them to go off‑site in their PPA
• Have centralised our Behaviour Policy so teachers are freed up from supervising detentions
• Demand ethical leadership built on professional trust
• Reject fads and ensure our CPD is evidence‑informed and predominantly subject specific
• Have reduced data collections to twice yearly
• Do not expect staff to respond to emails outside normal working hours
• Do not deploy staff at other Trust schools unless it is at their request

We have removed the following:

• Performance management objectives and performance‑related pay
• Lesson observations and high‑stakes, toxic accountability
• Onerous marking policies
• Requirements for daily or weekly lesson plans

We offer a range of benefits, including:

• Ethical leadership, professional trust and autonomy and a caring ethos in which everyone is valued and respected
• A great programme of CPD and opportunities to collaborate with other teaching professionals across TEAL
• Family‑friendly policies, including sector‑leading maternity, adoption and neonatal care pay offers
• Opportunities for flexible working
• Well‑being support, including discounted East Riding gym membership; free annual flu vaccinations; refund of the cost of the annual NHS prescription pre‑payment certificate; access to a free employee assistance scheme 24/7 with advice on a wide range of practical issues including legal information, consumer issues, specialist counselling and a virtual GP service
• Access to our staff benefits platform which includes big brand discounts and other financial incentives, including a cycle‑to‑work scheme offering discounted bike purchases
• Membership of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme

What are we looking for?

We are looking for an individual who is passionate about teaching and learning and wants to make a positive impact on the lives of young people. You must hold Qualified Teacher Status and have knowledge and understanding of the principles and practices of effective teaching and learning, monitoring, assessment and evaluation.
