ROLE SUMMARY:

St. Louise School, for its Caviglia campus in Milan, is currently seeking an Primary Years Teacher for a maternity cover starting from January 2027.

Ideally, we are seeking someone with previous experience of the IB PYP curriculum, but we are flexible to applicants from other curricula who are committed to high standards and innovative approaches to learning.

We assess each candidate individually, and the final offer will reflect professional experience, level of expertise, market positioning and the value brought to the role.

ABOUT THE SCHOOL:

Caviglia Campus welcomes 2 to 14-year-olds into an inspiring learning environment in the south of Milan. The campus provides a friendly, caring, nurturing international setting for more than 500 students, who represent a diverse and vibrant community of 50 nationalities.

At Caviglia Campus, education is of the highest standard. Teachers deliver first-class academic provision and excellent pastoral support to children enrolled in our Early Years, Primary School and Middle School programmes.

We have developed a reputation for offering high-quality education at Caviglia Campus. For over 20 years, our dedicated team of highly-skilled staff have demonstrated excellent results and teach a rigorous curriculum through an effective, personalised approach.

Caviglia Campus was renovated in 2018. It offers a modern and spacious learning environment for children in Early Years, Primary School and Lower Secondary School.

In addition to designing a newly-constructed outdoor area, we have restyled the Kindergarten facilities to enhance our early years educational provision and give 2 to 5 year-olds a vibrant setting to learn, play and grow.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Creating Engaging Lessons: Plan and deliver lessons that inspire and challenge all students and are in line with the school's curriculum, policies, and external assessment requirements. You will individualise and differentiate learning, ensuring each student is stretched, supported, and makes outstanding progress.
• Supporting and Assessing Progress: Regularly assess students' in-class and at-home learning, providing targeted feedback to drive progress and ensure all students are challenged and supported in reaching their potential.
• Building a Positive Learning Environment: Establish a classroom and school environment where students are invested in each other's flourishing, feel valued and supported, and are ready to take risks in their learning.
• Collaborating and Sharing Best Practices: Work closely with colleagues as an active member of our learning community, sharing best practices, collaborating with colleagues, and dedicating yourself to your own professional development to ensure the highest standard of education for our students.
• Contributing to School Life: Play an active role in the school's co-curricular programme, helping to create a well-rounded, enriching educational experience. From leading clubs to contributing to whole school initiatives, you will help shape the broader life of the school.
• Collaborating with Parents: Maintain open and constructive communication with parents, building strong partnerships that support students' progress so that each child feels like an individual, well-known and respected.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE:

• A genuine passion for education, with the ability to engage, motivate, and positively impact young people.
• A proven track record of excellence in personal, academic, and professional achievements.
• In-depth expertise in and passion for their subject and the ability to inspire students and support outstanding progress.
• Expertise in assessing student progress, providing targeted feedback, and enhancing student performance, including in external assessments.
