Year 1 Teacher

Hays Education are working in partnership with The Blackbird Academy Trust. The Trust, established from September 2013 consists of Orchard Meadow School, Pegasus School and Windale. All these schools will retain their identities, but will benefit from the expertise of lead sponsor The Dragon School and two other charities working in Education, Family Links and The Hamilton Trust. The Blackbird Academy Trust will be led by Executive Director Jill Hudson.

We are looking to appoint an inspiring and dynamic Year 1 teacher to join us as soon as possible. We offer exceptional professional development to grow as a teacher with opportunities to generate creative and innovative teaching across all three academy schools.

We can be flexible for the right candidate and therefore welcome applications from both NQTs and experienced teachers. There are opportunities to develop as middle leaders and responsibility points are available for suitably experienced candidates.

Please state your area of expertise in your supporting statement.

Whether you are an NQT or an experienced teacher you will:

• Be absolutely committed to developing children's learning in order to raise standards to give our children the very best opportunities in life 
• Be an excellent practitioner with a creative approach 
• Have high expectations both for children and yourself 
• Be an excellent communicator and team player

We welcome and actively encourage applicants to visit our schools. To arrange a visit, obtain an application pack or to have an informal discussion about us and our schools please contact Cheryl Ruck on Cheryl.Ruck@hays.com or call 01273 729465.

The Blackbird Academy Trust is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment. All successful candidates will be subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service check (formerly CRB ) along with other relevant employment checks.
