We are seeking a creative, committed Primary Teacher with a living Christian faith. Someone who loves teaching, loves children, and thrives in the lively, adaptable world of a small Christian school.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has a strong and active Christian faith.
• Holds QTS and has proven primary teaching experience.
• Can teach confidently across mixed ages and abilities.
• Is able to think outside the box in terms of teaching and learning.
• Is flexible, adaptable and thrives in a small‑school environment.
• Brings warmth, creativity and high expectations to the classroom.

In this role you will:

• Help design and develop a vibrant Christian primary curriculum.
• Play an active part in whole‑school life, nurturing pupils in their daily walk with Jesus.
• Contribute to a culture where children are encouraged to discover who they are in Christ and to grow in their individual gifts and calling.
