About this Role

As part of The Wensum Trust, we believe that our shared duty is to help every child to develop into high achieving, confident, healthy, caring and resilient members of their family and community. We want our schools to be healthy environments where both children and staff can develop and where strong, positive relationships are key. Our school, therefore, practices a relational approach with children, our families and our communities. We are particularly interested in working with people who share Our Qualities; who will work effectively and flexibly as part of a team.

The Wensum Trust is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and dedicated Classroom Teacher to join the supportive and welcoming staff team at Garrick Green Infant School. We are looking for a caring and committed individual who will play an active role in our school community.

Garrick Green is a small, friendly school with around 150 children across five classes. Our motto, ‘Learn to be happy, be happy to learn,’ sits at the heart of everything we do, shaping a positive and nurturing environment for both children and staff. You would be joining a team of experienced Teachers and Educational Pastoral Assistants who work closely together to support every child.

We are looking for a teacher who demonstrates:

A thoughtful and enthusiastic approach to teaching, with a commitment to helping every child succeed.
A positive attitude and willingness to contribute to a supportive and collaborative staff team.
The ability to deliver engaging and inclusive learning experiences tailored to meet the needs of all pupils.

The role is for 32.5 hours per week, fixed term until 31st August 2027.

Being a part of The Wensum Trust’s family of schools offers employees unique experiences to work alongside our strategic partners and to collaborate with a wider network of staff. We believe in investing in employees as individuals, by providing training opportunities that help to develop both existing and new skill sets, to encourage career progression at all levels.

We value our staff and are committed to supporting their wellbeing. We have an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) which all staff can access 24 hours a day. The EAP provides counselling services, legal information and guidance, musculoskeletal services and online resources such as nutrition diaries, healthy eating plans, personal coaching questionnaires and tools and fitness programmes.

We care about bringing together the most able people, to help us achieve our vision of providing a rounded education for children, quality support for their families and opportunities to enrich our communities.
