KS1 Teacher

Would you like to be part of a motivated team of staff committed to helping children succeed? Are you looking to inspire the next generation of future leaders? Tradewind are recruiting the best teachers in the market!

A fantastic opportunity has presented to work for a well-known two-form entry school in Tameside. This Year 1 class teacher role will commence February 2025 and will run until at least the end of the summer term with the potential to be made permanent. The school will welcome applications from ECT's as well as those with more experience and will pay a competitive salary that reflects the stage of your teaching career and suitability to the role.

As the Year 1 teacher, you will be working in a two-form, OFSTED rated 'Good' school in a popular area of Tameside. The class size is approximately 30 pupils with ranging abilities from those not meeting age related expectations to others working in greater depth. You will be required to develop strong pupil relationships where educational potential is maximised not only academically but in wider skill-sets. Experience supporting pupils with SEN (Specifically autism and ADHD) will be hugely advantageous and you will be joined by a full time TA who is familiar with the Year 1 curriculum.

As the Year 1 teacher, your responsibilities will be but not limited to:

• Undertake full class teaching responsibilities for a Year 1 class
• Thoroughly plan and deliver engaging tasks that motivate and challenge ranging learners
• Have a secure knowledge and understanding of the RWI phonics scheme and plan targeted interventions to bridge gaps and support pupils not meeting expectations with additional reading/writing support.
• Teach a creative curriculum utilising a range of approaches that cater for visual, audio and kinaesthetic learning preferences
• Make use of both the indoor and outdoor learning environment and provide activities that support continuous provision allowing children to explore and take risks
• Report on pupil progress and EHCP plans in relation to where pupils are in terms of meeting, achieving and/or exceeding targets.
• Communicate effectively with parent/guardians via Class Dojo and use this tool to keep them informed of individual pupil behaviour, homework and school events.
• Contribute to extra-curricular clubs utilising your area of expertise and attend wider school events in the local community.

After visiting this school, positive relationships between staff and students were apparent. Behaviour is exemplary both in and out of lessons and all parties (including SLT, Phase leaders, staff, students and parents) are fully onboard and supportive of the school culture and high standards.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic school and work alongside a hard-working, driven team of staff. This position would suit a dedicated, enthusiastic Year 1 teacher who is ready to make an outstanding impact in a KS1 setting.

To be successful in this Year 1 teaching role, you will:

• Hold QTS Certification (or an equivalent)
• Have experience teaching in a KS1 setting (Year 1 highly desirable)
• Be available from April and be able to commit for the rest of the academic year
• Be subject to an enhanced DBS check and overseas police check (if applicable)
• Provide a CV covering the last 10 years employment with no gaps and provide 2 suitable references from your most recent roles in education.
• Have a right to work in the UK
