Job Description
Are you an inspiring, committed and nurturing Primary Teacher looking for a long-term role where you can genuinely make an impact?
We are working with a well-established and highly regarded primary setting in the WF9 area that is seeking an experienced Year One Teacher to join their team immediately after the Easter holidays, on a full-time basis, until at least the end of the academic year, and very likely beyond, with potential of permanent contract.
Why This School?
This forward-thinking primary school is recognised for:
* Strong relationships between staff and pupils, praised in its most recent inspection
* A balanced, structured curriculum that supports every child to thrive academically and personally
* A welcoming, community-centred environment with a clear commitment to pupil well-being and consistent routines
* A pupil roll of just under 250, creating a close-knit, supportive school community
* A recent Good Ofsted outcome (February 2025), reassuring candidates of the school’s quality and stability
The school team is warm, approachable, and passionate, making this a fantastic place for a teacher who values collaboration, creativity, and child-centred practice.
The Role
As the Year 1 class teacher, you will:
* Take full responsibility for planning, delivering, and assessing high-quality learning in line with the KS1 curriculum
* Create a nurturing classroom that supports the transition from EYFS into more structured learning
* Build strong, positive relationships with pupils, colleagues, and families
* Contribute proactively to the wider life of the school
* Work closely with support staff to ensure all pupils - including those with additional needs - receive a high level of teaching and pastoral care
This is a long-term, full-time post ideal for teachers who value stability, consistency, and the chance to make a sustained impact across the summer term and potentially into the new academic year.
What We’re Looking For
* Qualified Teacher Status (QTS - essential)
* Strong experience teaching within KS1 (ideally in Year 1)
* A reflective, resilient practitioner with high expectations
* Someone who brings warmth, enthusiasm, and a supportive approach
* A teacher who thrives when working as part of a committed, dedicated staff team
What You’ll Receive
* A highly supportive senior leadership team known for being approachable and collaborative
* The chance to work within a well-structured, positive school culture
* Competitive pay, weekly pay, and ongoing support through Reed Education
* The opportunity to make a meaningful difference within a thriving primary community

If you’re an experienced, passionate Year 1 teacher who wants to join a caring, forward-thinking school after Easter, we’d love to hear from you.
