Aspire People are working alongside a primary school seeking an experienced Year 5 Teacher to join their KS2 team on a full-time basis.

Supporting pupils with progression in Maths, Reading, and Writing

Building positive relationships with pupils, staff, and parents
Contributing positively to the wider school community

The school prides itself on maintaining high standards while also creating a supportive learning environment for both pupils and staff.

The Successful Candidate Will:
Hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
Have recent KS2 teaching experience within a UK primary school
Be confident teaching Upper KS2
Demonstrate strong behaviour management skills
Have excellent classroom organisation and communication skills
Be committed, adaptable, and enthusiastic about teaching
