Class Teacher (Y4/5) - Maternity Cover

To commence 1st November 2026 (with the possibility of an earlier start).

The team at Bleasby are really excited to be able to welcome another teacher to our very happy school next academic year.

Although the role is only temporary, covering a maternity leave, it will be a time in your career that we know you will enjoy, remember, learn from and make lasting professional relationships in. And who knows what doors this one door might open?

What do we need from you?

• A genuine love for working with children and an excitement in helping them to flourish academically, socially and as individuals;
  
• Enjoying working with others – sharing your ideas, learning from colleagues and generating new ideas together;
  
• The ability to manage behaviour positively, reinforcing the school’s ABC values and building the children’s sense of themselves as a valued part of our community;
  
• A desire to learn and grow in your career and make a difference at each step.

Why choose Bleasby?

• We are a fairly small school, which brings its challenges, but gives us a very special family feel. We know and care about every member of our school community and we all have our part to play.
  
• As part of the Minster Trust for Education (MITRE) we have access to excellent CPD opportunities and are part of a much wider group of professionals who support each other and share good practice.
  
• We like to offer varied and memorable experiences to the children – which keeps it interesting for the teachers too!
  
• We don’t let the grass grow under our feet – we’re always looking to improve and will welcome your ideas.
  
• Our rural setting is good for the soul – especially on a day like today!

We actively encourage candidates to come and visit our school if you can – if not, please call and arrange a phone conversation. You can contact our head teacher, Russyn Cast, during the holidays through email r.cast@bleasbyprimary.org.uk or, during school hours, call the office on 01636830203.
