Casual/Supply Teacher – zero hours contract

At Uffington Church of England Primary School we believe Everyone Matters. Guided by our values of Love, Respect and Resilience, we create a nurturing, inclusive school where each pupil is known, cared for and encouraged to be the best version of themselves. We are a small, village half‑form entry primary serving a community that places great value on pupil voice, local heritage and mutual support. Following our most recent Ofsted we are graded Good and our Personal Development judgement was Outstanding.

We are looking to appoint motivated, reflective and inspiring casual/supply teachers who will put our vision and values at the heart of everything they do.

What we are looking for

The successful candidate will:

• Confidently plan and teach the National Curriculum while making learning engaging and accessible for our pupils, including those with higher levels of SEND.
• Embed Love, Respect and Resilience in daily practice so that relationships, behaviour and pupil wellbeing support strong learning routines.
• Effective and consistent use of our Positive Behaviour Policy to provide clear, calm boundaries and high expectations in the classroom.
• Demonstrate a secure understanding of effective pedagogy and assessment so pupils remember and build knowledge over time.
• Show genuine passion for teaching, take pride in their work, and model the values we expect of our pupils.
• Work collaboratively as part of a small, supportive team — sharing practice, contributing to curriculum development and supporting colleagues.
• Build positive relationships with pupils, parents and external agencies to ensure every pupil can flourish.
• Be committed to inclusion and challenge: making sure high‑quality universal teaching comes first and targeted support is used where needed.

We welcome applications from experienced qualified teachers only.

What Uffington offers

We will offer you:

• A warm, community‑centred school where staff, pupils and families live our Christian values every day.
• A supportive leadership team and governing body who invest in staff wellbeing and professional growth.
• A genuine commitment to workload management — meetings, planning and marking expectations are monitored to protect teaching time.
• The opportunity to lead a subject area and make a direct impact on our evolving curriculum.
• Regular CPD, coaching and peer collaboration within our school and partner networks.
