An exciting opportunity for career development within a brand, new specialist school.

Grand Union Village School is seeking an exceptional teacher to become one of our new Teaching & Learning Leads with responsibility for a Core Learning Area. The core learning area depends on the expertise of the successful applicant in Communication, Language & Literacy or Mathematical Development.

The Teaching & Learning Lead plays a key strategic and operational role in ensuring high-quality teaching, learning and provision. The post holder will guide, support and motivate staff, contribute to curriculum development and ensure effective leadership of designated learning areas.

An understanding of early childhood development and/or experience of teaching in an Early Years setting are desirable.

Experience of teaching pupils with additional needs is not essential; being creative, flexible and open to learning is.
