Foundation Phase Teacher

Posted recently. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Foundation Phase Teacher in Brits, and we encourage applicants from across North West to consider this opportunity.

The Role

The Foundation Phase Teacher position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across North West. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in Brits and across the teaching jobs space.

Beyond that, the successful applicant is given the room to plan, deliver and review their work without unnecessary noise. The organisation has built its Brits team on trust, and the Foundation Phase Teacher role will feel that from week one.

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Foundation Phase Teacher to step into the teaching jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.

What Your Day Looks Like

Your day begins before the bell, with last-minute lesson prep, learner check-ins and a moment to set the tone for the classroom. Lessons follow the rhythm of the timetable, but no two are quite the same — you adapt explanations, encourage quiet learners, and gently redirect those who need it. Breaks are spent marking, planning or supporting colleagues, and after-school hours might bring a meeting, an extra-mural or a parent conversation. By the time you head home, you have shaped young minds in small but lasting ways.

Practically speaking, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when North West operations throw up the unexpected.

No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Brits.
