Classroom Teacher (Mat Cover)

Are you passionate about Teaching and Learning and dedicated to making a positive impact on Children’s lives? 

The team at North Cave C of E Primary School are looking to appoint a classroom teacher to work predominantly in KS2 who will play a pivotal role in inspiring the next generation of young learners.

Starting in Sept 2025, the role is full time and will be paid on TEAL’s qualified teachers pay scale (points 1 to 9). This is a maternity cover until the return of the substantive postholder. 

Why choose us?

At North Cave CE Primary School we are committed to providing a friendly, stimulating environment in the school, which allows each child to respond positively to opportunities, challenges and responsibilities. We encourage pupils to work both independently and co-operatively, to think creatively and critically and to solve their own problems. 

We are part of TEAL (The Education Alliance) Multi Academy Trust and together we share a common purpose:

“We are here to make great schools and happier, stronger communities so that people have better lives”

We are very proud of our school and would welcome the opportunity to give you a tour, so please don’t hesitate to contact our HR Team at HR@theeducationalliance.org.uk or on 01482 631208 ext 2353 if you would like to arrange a visit or find out more about the role.

Within The Education Alliance Multi Academy Trust, there are lots of opportunities for collaboration and also further opportunities to develop and progress.  As a trust, we are here to make great schools and happier, stronger communities so that people have better lives.  

For too long in many schools, staff have been asked to choose between being seen as good at their job and being a good mum, dad, partner, son, daughter or friend. We are doing everything we can to support our staff to balance the demands of their jobs and those at home.

To support this, we:

• Trust our staff to plan, prepare and assess at the best time for them, allowing them to go off-site in their PPA
• Have centralised our Behaviour Policy so teachers are freed up from supervising detentions
• Demand ethical leadership built on professional trust                                                                                        
• Reject fads and ensure our CPD is evidence-informed and predominantly subject specific
• Have reduced data collections to twice yearly                                                                                                           
• Do not expect staff to respond to emails outside normal working hours
• Do not deploy staff at other Trust schools unless it is at their request                                               

We have removed the following:

• Performance management objectives and performance-related pay
• Lesson observations and high stakes, toxic accountability                        
• Onerous marking policies                                                                         
• Requirements for daily or weekly lesson plans                       

Above all, we recognise that seeking to remove the number of tasks staff undertake will have little effect on improving work/home balance if this happens within a toxic culture.  To support this, we offer training for our leaders to ensure they are able to translate our values into behaviours which are built on the principles of dignity, respect, professionalism and integrity.

We offer a range of benefits, including:

• Ethical leadership, professional trust and autonomy and a caring ethos in which everyone is valued and respected.
• A great programme of CPD and opportunities to collaborate with other teaching professionals across TEAL.
• Family friendly policies, including sector leading Maternity, Adoption and Neonatal care pay offers.
• Opportunities for flexible working
• Well-being support including discounted East Riding gym membership; free annual flu vaccinations; refund of the cost of the annual NHS prescription prepayment certificate; access to a free employee assistance scheme 24/7 with advice on a wide range of practical issues ranging from legal information and consumer issues to specialist counselling or our virtual GP service.
• Access to our staff benefits platform which includes big brand discounts and other financial incentives including a cycle to work scheme offering discounted bike purchases
• Membership of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for an individual who is passionate about Teaching and Learning and wants to make a positive impact on the lives of Children. 

You must hold Qualified Teacher Status and have knowledge and understanding of the principles and practices of effective teaching and learning, monitoring/ assessment and evaluation.
