What you will need:

• QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) and recent experience in a UK primary setting
• A nurturing, flexible teaching approach with the ability to connect quickly with pupils across KS1
• Confident classroom presence with strong behaviour management rooted in positive reinforcement
• The ability to follow pre-set work while bringing your own creativity and energy to the classroom
• Clear communication, a proactive attitude, and the ability to build rapport with pupils and staff alike
• A minimum of 6 weeks' teaching experience in the UK

What we offer you:

• Competitive weekly PAYE pay
• Roles tailored to your lifestyle, day-to-day or longer term
• Access to exclusive opportunities in great local schools
• A friendly, experienced consultant who listens (hi, I'm Jess)
• Free CPD and ongoing professional development
• A simple 'Refer a Friend' scheme
• A warm, supportive agency that genuinely cares about you and your journey

We're fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults.
