Job overview

St Joseph’s Catholic Primary (Dudley) is:

  • A voluntary Catholic academy that is part of the St John Bosco Catholic Academy (Dudley) together with St Chad’s Catholic Primary in Sedgley and Bishop Milner Catholic College in Dudley. This offers excellent opportunities for working alongside our partner schools.
  • Judged as ‘Outstanding’ in our recent RE and Catholic Life Inspection (December 2013) and is a school with a very strong Catholic ethos and excellent Parish links.
  • In the top 100 of all schools nationally for 2014 in terms of progress between KS1 and KS2 – with a letter from the Minister of State for Schools to congratulate us!
  • A good school (OFSTED 2008 and Interim Assessment 2012) that is committed to improving even more to become an outstanding school. (Our school is due to be inspected by OFSTED and the successful applicant must be able to demonstrate and provide evidence of consistently good or better teaching and learning in Key Stage 2)
  • Popular and over-subscribed and has a friendly and caring atmosphere.
  • A one form entry Catholic school that serves the Kates Hill estate and beyond.
  • A happy and safe environment where everyone, children and adults alike, is given the chance to flourish.

The Academy Committee are seeking to appoint a teacher who:

  • Puts the children first and ensures they are safe and happy, whilst challenging them to achieve the best they possibly can.
  • Is completely supportive of our Catholic ethos and strong links with our Parish.
  • Has a proven track record of good or better performance as a Key Stage 2 teacher / trainee teacher.
  • Is well organised, capable, hardworking and resilient. As our school is expected to be inspected by OFSTED it is essential that the successful applicant can demonstrate these attributes.
  • Is a good team member who will work with others and also use their own initiative to help make our school even better.

The successful applicant will be required to respect, preserve and develop the quality and distinctive culture of our Catholic school and will be required to sign a Catholic Education Service contract. A practising Catholic is preferred although we welcome applications from anyone prepared to wholeheartedly support our Catholic ethos. St Joseph’s is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant will need to complete an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) criminal background check before taking up post.

This post is only suitable for teachers (including NQTs) with very recent and highly successful Key Stage 2 experience. Visits to the school are very much encouraged and recommended. Your visit can be arranged by contacting the Headteacher, Mark Hinton, via the school office on 01384 818 925.
