Salary: £130-160 per day

What does the role entail?

Teachers will be expected to deliver engaging and high-quality lessons that align with both school guidelines and the KS2 National Curriculum, stepping in to cover both planned and unexpected staff absences. You’ll be responsible for maintaining a positive and well-managed classroom environment that supports student learning. Working across various year groups and subjects, adaptability will be key as you transition between different classes and teaching approaches. In most instances, you’ll be following pre-prepared lesson plans, though you should also feel confident in creating your own when necessary. The role involves promoting student well-being, encouraging positive behaviour, and maintaining clear communication with fellow staff members.
