The Role

Embark on a fulfilling journey in our team as we seek dedicated K-6 primary teachers with exceptional interpersonal skills and a natural ability to cultivate positive relationships with parents, students, and colleagues. In our vibrant school community, we place a strong emphasis on values and a positive culture.

Join us in fostering a shared vision anchored in whole-school connected practice, collaborative team structures, and a commitment to professional growth. We celebrate innovation and leadership, encouraging educators to actively seek opportunities within our dynamic team. Educators with aspirations to take on leadership opportunities within the school would be highly desirable. Experience in implementing the whole school approach of Oxford Maths is highly desirable as is experience in PLD and Soundwaves.

Furthermore, experience in using Elastik would also be valuable.

Embrace a culture of accountability, where motivated educators are committed to delivering best practices, grounded in evidence-based decision-making and differentiation. Transparent classroom management and a willingness to adopt Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) contribute to our positive and supportive educational environment. If you are a passionate educator ready to contribute to a culture of positivity, innovation, and collaboration, we invite you to apply and become an integral part of our inspiring teaching team.
