Are you an experienced and enthusiastic KS2 teacher? Or perhaps you're an outstanding Early Career Teacher (ECT), excited about developing your skills in a supportive and inspiring environment?

About the Role

At Leith Hill School, we are seeking a dynamic and committed KS2 teacher who is passionate about making a real difference. Whether you're seasoned in the classroom or just beginning your teaching journey, you will have the opportunity to thrive in a role that values innovation, collaboration, and continuous professional development.

• Bring energy and creativity to your teaching, utilising innovative methods to inspire and motivate your students.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues to integrate exciting cross-curricular opportunities across subjects.

Our Ethos & Your Role Beyond the Classroom

As a teacher in our SEN setting, you will play a key role in nurturing the wellbeing and personal development of our pupils. Most staff lead a small tutor group of 6–8 students, supporting their social and emotional growth and embodying the school's values and ethos each day.
