About the Role

You'll join an education provider in the West Midlands, teaching primary-aged pupils and taking responsibility for the day-to-day running of your class. You'll plan and deliver lessons across the primary curriculum, adapting your approach so that every child can access the learning.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning and delivering engaging lessons across the primary curriculum.
  • Adapting teaching and resources to meet the range of needs in your class.
  • Assessing pupil progress and keeping accurate records.
  • Managing behaviour positively and maintaining a safe, structured classroom.
  • Working with support staff and colleagues to support pupils' learning and wellbeing.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
  • Experience teaching in a primary setting
  • Strong classroom and behaviour management skills
  • An enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or a willingness to apply for one

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Experience across both KS1 and KS2
  • Experience supporting pupils with additional needs

If you're ready to bring your primary teaching to a new class, we'd love to hear from you.
