• Puts children’s wellbeing at the heart of everything they do and genuinely enjoys working with young people.
• Has high expectations for all pupils and is committed to ensuring every child is supported, challenged and able to succeed.
• Demonstrates secure subject knowledge and a strong understanding of the primary curriculum.
• Brings energy, creativity and enthusiasm to make learning engaging and memorable.
• Works collaboratively and values being part of a supportive team.
• Has a positive outlook and is willing to share ideas and learn from others.
• Is keen to contribute to the wider life of the school, including extra-curricular opportunities.
• Communicates effectively and values strong partnerships with parents, governors and colleagues.

In return, we offer:

• Children who are rewarding to teach and who thrive on success, nurture and positive relationships.
• A dedicated, supportive and motivated staff team united by our ‘Take Care, Be Proud’ ethos.
• High-quality professional development and collaboration through being a partner in Equals Trust.
• A welcoming and friendly working environment.
• Access to a range of employee health and wellbeing services.

Posts will be paid from M1-M6 under the Nottinghamshire Pay Policy, dependent on current pay point; and would suit an ECT who has achieved a consistently high standard within their placement schools or a more experienced teacher with a track record of good practice.
