DIOCESE OF LEEDS (working with Kirklees Council)

The Federated Governing Body of Our Lady of Lourdes and St Patrick’s Catholic Primary Schools invite applications from newly qualified Teachers as well as experienced Teachers, who wish to join our happy, successful and hard working schools.  We are looking for active, enthusiastic, caring and creative Teachers with a willingness to share their faith, skills and love of teaching to work at either of our schools.

We are looking for classroom practitioners who:

• Are hardworking, organised, flexible and enthusiastic.
• Are able to work as part of a team to achieve the very best for our children.
• Have high expectations in classroom management.
• Are able to demonstrate outstanding classroom practice.
• Are supportive of the Catholic ethos of the schools and the care that the schools provide.

In turn we can offer:

• The opportunity to work across a federation of two schools under the same leadership.
• Strong ethos and a sense of mission.
• Committed, happy, friendly and supportive staff.
• Enthusiastic children who love learning and school life.
• A strong commitment to your continuing professional development as an NQT or experienced Teacher.

All applicants must be happy to play a full part in the life of our schools and actively support the Mission Statement.

We are committed to safeguarding and  promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All staff are subject to an enhanced DBS check. A conviction may not exclude candidates from appointment but will be considered as part of the recruitment process.

Application forms and further details are available from Jill Carnekie at Our Lady of Lourdes School (tel: 01484 310700 or email jill.carnekie@kirkleeseducation.uk) and Helen Fox at St Patrick’s School (tel: 01484 300800 or email helenj.fox@kirkleeseducation.uk).
