The Trust wishes to appoint an excellent and committed Key Stage 2 teacher to join Hampsthwaite C of E Primary School from September 2026. This is a 0.4 FTE post, and we warmly welcome applications from candidates interested in working as part of an effective job-share arrangement.

Hampsthwaite is a happy, thriving village school where all members of our community are encouraged to enjoy, achieve and flourish. We are proud of our nurturing environment, high expectations, and strong sense of teamwork. Our children are enthusiastic, kind, and eager to learn.

We are seeking a teacher who:

• the opportunity to work within a supportive Multi Academy Trust, with strong networks and CPD opportunities;
• a school that values staff wellbeing and professional growth;
• a forward-thinking curriculum and a commitment to continuous improvement.

This role would suit a teacher with strong KS2 training and practice. We are particularly keen to ensure a successful and seamless job-share partnership, so a willingness to work collaboratively and communicate effectively is essential.
