This post would be ideal for a graduate interested in teaching and requiring experience in a school before applying for teaching training next year. Furthermore, we would be very interested to hear from ECT’s who are yet to secure a teaching role but are keen to remain working in schools prior to embarking on their ECT.

We are looking for an enthusiastic colleague to supervise classes of pupils/students when teaching staff are on short-term absences.  Work for the lessons will be set by teachers. An induction programme will prepare you for the role and on-going training will be provided. The ideal candidate will be keen to work across both the primary and secondary phases; however, the position will be based in our secondary phase.

We are extremely proud of our ethos and the very positive relationships which exist at the school. The Harleston Sancroft Academy, part of the St Benet’s Multi Academy Trust, is an oversubscribed, inclusive and very successful 3-16 Church of England all through school in South Norfolk where children thrive and achieve very well. Children are supported to flourish and grow with responsibility and resilience. The primary and secondary phases are located approximately half a mile apart.

You should:

• Have relevant experience of working with children across the 3-16 age range. However, if you feel you have transferable skills and are looking for a new challenge then please tell us these in the personal statement of your application
• Have good literacy and numeracy skills
• Be able to establish positive and supportive relations with all children
• Be able to use your initiative to support learning
• Be flexible and able to work in a team situation
• Have the energy, drive and enthusiasm to inspire

We offer:

• A great working relationship with staff and students
• An extensive ‘in house’ CPD programme
• The support of an informed and active Local Governing Committee and Trust
• A very supportive and encouraging Senior Leadership Team
• Close collaboration throughout the Multi Academy Trust
• An opportunity to work in a good location where the cost of housing is attractive
• Membership of Health Shield health care plan

“The distinctiveness and effectiveness of Sancroft as a Church of England school are outstanding.”  Church Schools Inspection 2017

“The SLT at this school lead with an extremely strong sense of passion and belief in what they are doing and why. The school fosters a great sense of community and it is clear that the SLT has the student’s needs at the heart of every decision. It is a great place to work and the students are fab!” (Recent staff survey, 2021)

“The school has evolved to where it is today with dignity, strength and kindness at its heart” (Recent parent survey, 2021)

“Wellbeing of all staff is put first, especially in the current climate which we have all struggled with. All staff work incredibly hard, which makes Sancroft a special, caring, working environment that it has been and is today!” (Staff survey, 2022)
