Job description

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

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

Do you feel supported by your current Headteacher and SLT?

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

We have worked with this Waltham Forest-based Primary School for the past 12 months. During this time, we visited twice, meeting the Headteacher (who is fantastic), SLT, support staff, and pupils.

The Headteacher has been 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-first in all aspects. The Headteacher is passionate, supportive, and a true leader.

Key highlights of the school include:

• Friendly and approachable staff, all working collaboratively for the pupils
• Focus on wellbeing, with events across the School and Trust
• SLT flexible in supporting teachers' needs to rest or reset
• Open communication to support staff before burnout occurs
• Marking parties where staff support each other in marking books
• Flexible PPA time with a dedicated PPA teacher
• Additional support staff such as Speech and Language Therapist (4 days/week) and School Counsellor (5 days/week)
• Large outdoor spaces, nurture and sensory rooms, and well-equipped classrooms

The Headteacher is looking for a Class Teacher who is flexible to teach across KS1 and KS2. She values teachers who can demonstrate their strengths and adapt to different year groups based on individual needs.

This role is for a September 2025 start, with a permanent contract directly with the school. Interviews and lesson observations can be scheduled from now until the May resignation deadline. We encourage you to apply and discuss this opportunity or others with James.
