Resource Base Teacher – Primary School (Part-Time) in Bristol

A wonderful opportunity has arisen for a caring and dedicated Resource Base Teacher to join a friendly one-form entry village primary school in the SN15 area of Chippenham. This is a part-time role, teaching three days per week with flexibility on which days are worked. The school is proud of its inclusive ethos and supportive community, making it a fantastic place to teach and learn.

About the School

This welcoming village school has a real family feel, where everyone works together to help children thrive. Staff, pupils, and families share a strong sense of belonging, and the school is well known for its nurturing and inclusive approach. The setting includes a small, well-supported resource base for Key Stage 2 pupils, providing a calm and structured environment where children with additional needs can learn, grow, and feel valued. The school’s caring and collaborative team works closely to make learning accessible and enjoyable for all.

The Role

As the Resource Base Teacher, you will teach a small group of around 10 Key Stage 2 pupils who benefit from a tailored and supportive approach to learning. You will plan and deliver engaging lessons that meet individual needs, helping children develop confidence and independence. Working closely alongside the SENCo, you will share planning responsibilities and ensure learning is well-matched to each pupil’s abilities and interests. Your main duties will include:

• Teaching and supporting KS2 pupils within the resource base
• Creating a positive, nurturing, and inclusive classroom environment
• Monitoring and assessing pupil progress, celebrating success and identifying next steps
• Building strong relationships with support staff, parents, and external professionals
• Ensuring safeguarding, inclusion, and wellbeing are at the heart of your practice

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for a patient, compassionate, and adaptable teacher who has a genuine passion for supporting children with additional needs. You should have Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and experience working with pupils with SEND or within small group settings. Strong communication and teamwork skills are essential, as you’ll be working closely with the SENCo and support staff. Most importantly, you’ll be someone who brings warmth, creativity, and commitment to helping every child achieve their best.

Why Join This School?

This is a small, inclusive school with a warm and welcoming atmosphere where every member of staff is valued. You’ll be part of a supportive team that works together to make a real difference in children’s lives. The resource base is a caring and happy space, where pupils are encouraged to build confidence and celebrate success. Staff are collaborative and approachable, and the school’s community feel makes it a lovely place to work.
