Primary Teacher Part Time

How would you like to be paid for five days but only work four*?

Our colleagues’ wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do at OFG, so we’re always looking for new ways to improve everyone’s work/life balance. We’re taking part in a trial of the 4-Day Working Week, meaning that you could be working one day less a week (or equivalent).

4DWW will be rolled out within our school, when we have a full complement of staff, and within the next year – so there’s never been a more exciting time to join us #teamOFG!

Do you want to work in a dynamic and innovative environment?

Do you have a passion for supporting pupils to achieve their full potential?

Do you want a great work life balance?

Then join our close-knit team at Glebedale School, a small SEMH provision in Stoke on Trent.

Glebedale School is proud to offer support to a broad range of pupils with complex SEMH needs. With a high ratio of staff to pupils we have the time to build real relationships with our young people and offer a welcoming and nurturing environment.
