0.5 FTE working Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays

Pocklington Prep School is a wonderful place to work. We are a supportive, kind and caring team who enjoy what we do and seek to support all those around us. We offer a pleasant working environment, with small class sizes and an outstanding pastoral provision.

An enthusiastic and talented classroom practitioner is required to join our family-focused and thriving Prep School 12 miles East of York. With a strong sense of teamwork and common purpose, we seek to motivate and stretch all pupils, whilst allowing every child to achieve to the best of their ability.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who has the vision to lead the delivery of an inclusive and engaging Art & Design curriculum in our purpose-designed Art Studio. You’ll spark creativity and imagination as you teach Art & Design to curious young minds aged 4 to 11 and take learning beyond the classroom through inspiring extra-curricular activities, projects and experiences.
