Class Teacher

At Saint Joseph's, we know that great teaching doesn't happen by accident. It happens when staff feel supported, clear about expectations, and able to focus on what matters most the children in front of them. We are a one-form entry Catholic primary school with a strong team ethos. Everyone knows each other, supports each other and works together to get things right. Behaviour across the school is strong, relationships are positive and classrooms are calm places to learn. This doesn't happen by chance; it's built through clear routines, consistent expectations and leadership that is present and involved. We don't expect perfection, after all, even Saint Peter and Saint Paul didn't get everything right! But we do expect professionalism, commitment and a genuine commitment to getting it right for the children of Saint Joseph's and, in return, we work hard to make this a school where staff feel valued, supported and able to do their job well. We are looking for a teacher who:

• Has secure classroom practice and high expectations
• Values strong routines and consistent behaviour
• Wants to be part of a close, supportive team
• Is reflective, committed and keen to keep improving
• Is willing to contribute to the Catholic life of the school
What you will find at Saint Joseph's:
• Well-behaved, respectful children who enjoy learning
• A calm, purposeful working environment
• Clear systems and routines that reduce unnecessary workload
• Leadership that prioritises staff wellbeing and psychological safety
• A team that works together and supports one another
• A commitment to high-quality professional development
