Your new company

Hays have partnered with a well-known Primary School in Blackpool, who are seeking an Early Career Teacher (NQT) for their Year 5 class. The school was recently rated good with outstanding characteristics by OFSTED, and they are continuing to improve year-on-year. This is a focus for the SLT, who are fairly established, with a good local reputation. The school is two-form entry, with class sizes of 26 to 30 pupils.

The school is centrally located in Blackpool, close to the town centre. Transport links are exceptional; the school is a short distance from the nearest tram stop and a short drive from the M55 motorway.

Your new role

In your new role, you will take the reigns of the schools Year 5 class, taking on full-class responsibility from day one. This will involve lesson planning, observation, classroom management, assessment and daily teaching.

The class is well behaved and calm, making this an excellent opportunity for an Early Career Teacher (NQT).
