Year 5 Class Teacher Fixed Term Vacancy to start after Easter...

 

Berry Hill Primary School is delighted to offer an exciting opportunity for a Year 5 Class Teacher to join our warm, welcoming and successful school community on a one-term fixed-term contract.

This role comes at a particularly positive time for the school. Following a successful Ofsted inspection in May 2025, Berry Hill continues to build confidently on its strengths, with a clear focus on high-quality teaching, learning and professional development within a calm, purposeful and supportive environment.

There is a strong possibility that this role could become permanent from September, subject to school needs. Should the successful candidate for the fixed-term post be appointed to the permanent position, we would look to pay over the summer holidays.

Do you have a couple of free hours in the middle of each day?

Would you like a job helping primary school children to have a lovely and exciting lunchtime?

At Berry Hill Primary School, we’ve changed the traditional ‘lunchtime supervisor’ role to ‘play worker’ and are committed to making our lunchtimes a fun and active part of the day and for children to feel they’ve had a proper break. We often need to add some more lovely people to our midday team to help our children make the most out of this and to ensure everyone is happy and safe.

We can offer an hourly rate of circa £14.18. If you think you may be interested, please contact our office on office@berryhill.notts.sch.uk or 01623 478477.
