Vision for Education is seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Key Stage 2 Teacher to join a welcoming village primary school in the Lancaster area from November 2026, or as soon as possible for the right candidate.

This exciting long-term opportunity is to cover a period of long term staff absence and is expected to continue until July 2027. It would suit a passionate teacher who enjoys working in a small-school environment, building strong relationships with pupils and contributing to the wider life of a close-knit school community.

The Role

This Key Stage 2 Teacher position offers the opportunity to take responsibility for a small, mixed-age class within a friendly village primary school.

This role would suit an experienced Key Stage 2 Teacher or an Early Career Teacher (ECT) looking to develop their skills in a supportive setting. It is particularly well suited to someone who enjoys the variety of mixed-age teaching and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference to a smaller group of pupils.
