Job description

Class Teacher (KS1 or KS2) | Primary School | Hackney | September 2025

Q - Are you a qualified Class Teacher seeking better work-life balance?

Q - Or perhaps your current Headteacher and SLT aren't as supportive as you'd like?

If so, James at EdEx may have the perfect Class Teacher vacancy for September!

We have partnered with this Hackney-based Primary School for the past 12 months, visiting twice and meeting the Headteacher (who is fantastic), SLT, support staff, and pupils.

The Headteacher was part of the school's founding team over 8 years ago and has led the school to great success. The school is not only academically excellent but also child-led and pupil-focused. The Headteacher is passionate, supportive, and a true leader.

Some key highlights of the school include:

• Friendly, approachable staff working together for pupils' benefit
• Partner/friend system for staff support
• Wellbeing events for staff and students
• Flexible SLT support for teachers needing rest or reset
• Emphasis on communication to support staff before burnout occurs
• Marking parties where staff support each other by marking books together
• Flexible PPA time with a dedicated PPA teacher
• Additional support staff such as Speech and Language Therapist (4 days/week) and School Counsellor (full-time)
• Large outdoor spaces, nurture and sensory rooms, well-equipped classrooms

The Headteacher is looking for a Class Teacher who can teach across KS1 and KS2. She prefers teachers to demonstrate their skills in action and then discuss the best fit for their strengths and the needs of specific classes or year groups.

This role is a permanent position starting in September 2025, directly employed by the school. Interviews and lesson observations can be scheduled from now until the May resignation deadline. We encourage you to apply and speak with James about this or other suitable opportunities.
