Are you an enthusiastic teacher looking for a rewarding part-time role?
We are looking for an inspirational teacher to join the team on a job-share basis, covering a maternity leave for a lovely mixed Year 1/2 class.
The Role
You will take the reins of a mixed Year 1/2 class every Thursday and Friday.

The Key Stage 1 department consists of three classes in total. You will benefit from collaborative team planning with the other class teachers, meaning you get to share ideas, resources, and workloads.
As part of the job share, you will be expected to handle the planning, teaching, and marking for your designated days, ensuring a seamless transition and continuity of learning for the children alongside your job-share partner.
What We Are Looking For:
A qualified teacher (QTS) with a passion for Early Years/Key Stage 1
Someone with a warm, adaptive teaching style who can support and challenge a mixed-ability class.
An understanding of (or willingness to learn about) supporting children with SEN.
A strong communicator who can collaborate effectively with team members and your job-share partner.
ECTs (Early Career Teachers) are very welcome to apply!
We offer a supportive environment to help you develop your practice.
What We Offer:
A welcoming, friendly primary school community in Taunton.
Collaborative planning sessions to reduce workload and share expertise. Consistent,
experienced TA support in the classroom. A well-resourced learning environment.
