Hours
We would like to appoint a part-time, 3 hours per week, teacher who has the experience and flexibility to teach across Y6-Y8.

About our School
Independent Sector, 170 to 200 pupils from 4-16.

CFS is a faith venture within a parent collaborative setting, where young people learn to consider the world and themselves in a Christ-centred way, and the next generation are actively discipled to equip them to serve society creatively and courageously. School families come from diverse ethnic and church backgrounds across the wider Merseyside region.

We see working at CFS as part of our Christian calling to serve the church through education. The salary structure is consequently reflected in this vision.

More about the role
The successful candidate will take responsibility for teaching Y6-Y8 classes Communication Skills, a practical, performance-based subject that develops pupils' confidence, oracy, listening, collaboration and reflective skills. Through drama, performance arts and structured communication activities, pupils learn to express ideas with clarity, creativity and integrity, while growing in confidence as speakers, performers and leaders.

Rooted in the school's Christian vision and God's Big Story: Creation, Fall, Redemption and Restoration, the subject recognises communication as central to human flourishing. Pupils are encouraged to see their voice as both a gift and a responsibility, using it wisely to build others up and contribute positively to the world.

Person specification (summary)
The successful candidate should:

• Have relevant experience or be a qualified teacher
• Have experience in Drama, English, Performing Arts, Speech and Drama, Public Speaking or a related discipline
• Be enthusiastic and creative
• Demonstrate strong subject knowledge and high expectations for pupils
• Be willing to work flexibly in response to the needs of the school
• Be supportive of the school's Christian vision and mission
