Class Teacher

St Joseph’s RC Primary School (Heywood) are currently seeking a Year 5 Teacher. This is an exciting opportunity to join the Trust at the beginning of a journey of transition, development, and growth within the multi-academy trust.

As a Catholic school, our staff live out our Christian values and visions through their daily interactions with our children and each other. Being a baptised Roman Catholic is not an essential criterion, but the commitment to the formation of our children within the Catholic faith is.

Our school’s mission statement is ‘Through love and service, with Jesus in our hearts and heads, we can achieve anything.’

Purpose of the role:

We are seeking to appoint an inspirational, enthusiastic teaching professional who can work as part of our dedicated and exceptional team. The candidate will be expected to demonstrate the ability to meet the Teachers’ Standards. All classroom teachers will contribute to the curriculum and year teams in supporting the school’s mission statement and achieving its aims. As a professional within a Catholic School, you will be expected to enhance the life of the school by delivering and developing high quality teaching and learning, contributing to the work of the teams of teaching and support staff, being reflective about your own practice and effectiveness: sharing with, and learning from the work of others, and constantly seeking ways to improve through innovation and research.

We are seeking an individual who:

• Is an exceptional practitioner with strong subject knowledge and experience of raising achievement across the age and ability range.
• Is highly motivated by a belief that the life chances of all young people can be improved.
• Is a well-qualified, industrious, and talented team player who believes in lifelong learning and can help pupils develop the skills and attitudes they will need in their future lives.
