Year 5 Class Teacher
Start date: 13th April 2026
Duration: One term initially, with the possibility of extension
Location: Hackney, East London
This Hackney primary school requires a key stage 2 teacher for a Year 5 class. The role is to cover a maternity absence for 1 term. However, there is a strong possibility the school may be able to offer the right teacher a permanent job for September 2026. This is a very welcoming and well‑loved Catholic primary school in Hackney often praised for their high standards. This is a one‑term role to begin with, with the potential to continue based on the needs of the school.
About the School
* A nurturing, community‑focused Catholic school with a strong ethos and inclusive values
* Supportive leadership team and friendly staff
* Well‑behaved, enthusiastic pupils who love to learn
* Excellent links with families and the wider community
The Role
* Full‑time Year 5 class teacher
* Planning, delivering and assessing engaging lessons
* Contributing to the wider life of the school
* Upholding the school’s Catholic ethos (you do not need to be Catholic, but you must be supportive of the values)
What we are looking for
* A qualified teacher (ECTs and experienced teachers welcome)
* Someone warm, organised and committed to high‑quality teaching
* A teacher who builds positive relationships and creates a calm, purposeful classroom
* Strong behaviour management and a passion for helping pupils thrive
* Someone who has the right to work in the UK as the school will not be able to offer sponsorship
If you are a dedicated primary teacher looking for a rewarding role in a lovely Hackney school, we would love to hear from you.
