Vacancies

We currently have a vacancy for a M1 to M4 Teacher at our school. (Closing date: Monday 17th March 2025 - at 09:30).

Role: Teacher

The headteacher and governors of Halton Lodge Primary School would like to appoint a highly skilled and inspiring teacher; who has the ability to excite and motivate primary school age children to learn, show respect and stay safe.

Initially, this role will involve teaching in all year groups (Reception to Year 6) throughout the week, to provide PPA cover and to also release teachers for (i) subject leadership time, (ii) to carry out monitoring and coaching, (iii) to observe others and take part in lesson study, and (iv) attend training courses, other continued professional development opportunities and meetings.  Should a member of the teaching staff be absent, due to illness or other unforeseen circumstance, there may also be a requirement to cover on these occasions too. This role will, therefore, be varied, interesting and require good organisational skills.

However, over time, we would hope to provide the successful candidate with the opportunity to take on a class teacher responsibility in their chosen key stage – if this is something that it is felt would be in the best interest of the successful candidate (and the children who attend our school).

Furthermore, as a member of Weaver Trust, we can also offer additional support through the trust’s ECT programme (if appropriate) and via the Director of Education, Teaching & Leading Lead and SEND Manager (as required).

This is a wonderful opportunity to gain experience of working in EYFS, KS1 and KS2, make a real difference to the lives of almost 200 children, and become a key member of our teaching team (teachers, teaching assistants and learning support assistants).

At Halton Lodge Primary School, we can offer you:

 A friendly, hardworking team of staff;

 A welcoming and vibrant school;

 Happy children who enjoy learning;

 Support, mentoring and coaching from the senior leadership team at the school – as well as our trust leaders;

 A supportive and experienced governing body;

 Effective performance management that values the contributions you make and enables you to develop and grow as a teacher.

The successful candidate will:

 Have Qualified Teacher Status;

 Be able to evidence that they meet all the teacher standards;

 Have the ability to teach to a high standard in Reception (EYFS), Key Stage One and Key Stage Two;

 Understand how children learn – and be able to nuture a positive learning environment;
