ECTs and Experienced Teachers Welcome
Could this be the opportunity you've been waiting for?
Opportunities to join the team at Fernhurst Junior School do not come along very often. Thanks to our committed and stable staff team, vacancies are rare. We are therefore delighted to be recruiting a Class Teacher to join us from January 2027.
We warmly welcome applications from Early Career Teachers (ECTs) looking to begin their teaching journey in a highly supportive environment, as well as experienced teachers seeking a role within a collaborative, ambitious and nurturing school community.
At Fernhurst, our vision is "Together Towards Success". We believe that every child matters and every child deserves to be known, valued and supported to achieve their full potential. We are looking for a teacher who shares these values and is passionate about making a lasting difference to children's lives.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
