Ready to inspire young learners at the very start of their school journey?
GSL Education is working with a friendly and well-regarded primary school in Maldon to recruit an enthusiastic and dedicated Year 1 Teacher for an immediate start. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a supportive school where creativity, teamwork, and pupil wellbeing are at the heart of everything they do.

About the Role
As a Year 1 Teacher, you’ll play a key role in helping children transition from Early Years into Key Stage 1, building strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, and confidence.
You’ll be teaching a lively and engaging class, supported by a welcoming team of staff and leadership who value collaboration and new ideas. The school is looking for someone who can bring energy into the classroom while maintaining a structured and nurturing learning environment.

* Supporting pupils’ academic, social, and emotional development
* Creating a positive, inclusive, and stimulating classroom environment
* Assessing and monitoring pupil progress
* Working closely with teaching assistants and colleagues
* Building strong relationships with parents and carers
* Contributing to the wider life of the school

What We’re Looking For
* Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
* Experience teaching in EYFS or KS1, ideally Year 1
* A creative, positive, and adaptable teaching style
* Strong classroom and behaviour management skills
* A team player with excellent communication skills
* A genuine passion for supporting young learners
-----------------------------------
Why This Role Stands Out
* Join a supportive and welcoming primary school in Maldon
* Opportunity to make a real impact at a key stage in children’s development
* Immediate start with long-term stability
* Work through GSL Education with ongoing support from your consultant
* A positive school environment where your ideas and input are valued
