The post is permanent, full-time.

We have an exciting opportunity for a talented teacher.  
 
The Local Governing Body at Gilsland C E Primary School are seeking to appoint a creative, adaptable, hardworking and innovative practitioner, for September 2024 to teach an EYFS/ KS1 class.  You will need to bring enthusiasm, drive and a love of learning to support our children.
 
You will:  
•    Have a track record of delivering excellent outcomes for children. 
•    Be innovative in your approaches, delivering engaging and exciting sessions or lessons for groups of children.  
•    Understand how children develop and learn and use this to promote inspirational learning opportunities for children. 
•    Have a secure understanding of assessment that aids learning and be able to place this at the centre of your teaching. 
•    Have a ‘can do’ mentality with a desire to overcome challenges that arise. 
•    Be a team-player with good communication and inter-personal skills. 
•    Most importantly, be committed to professional development and have high expectations of your own practice. 
•    We are particularly excited to hear about your curriculum expertise – experience of, or willingness to, lead a core subject would be great but not essential.  
 
In return, we offer:  
•    Wonderful children, who love to learn. 
•    A community who take pride in being members of our team. 
•    A welcoming work environment, with high expectations and support.  
•    An inclusive school, where high standards and excellence are valued.
