Flourish Education is recruiting for a KS1 Teacher to support a friendly primary school in Tamworth. This opportunity would suit a practitioner who builds positive relationships and makes early learning purposeful, engaging and accessible.

The school provides a welcoming community school where children are encouraged to be curious, confident and respectful. A nurturing approach, clear routines and strong relationships help pupils feel safe, included and ready to learn.

The school is looking for a dedicated KS1 Teacher to support Key Stage 1 pupils. The successful candidate will deliver early reading, phonics, writing, mathematics and the development of confident learning habits, maintain clear expectations and work closely with colleagues to ensure children receive consistent, high-quality support. Opportunities may be available on a day-to-day, short-term or long-term basis, depending on school requirements.

The school will consider ECTs for teaching opportunities where the role and experience are a suitable match.

This opportunity may suit candidates seeking day-to-day, short-term or longer-term work. Working patterns and year-group placements will depend on the needs of the school and will be discussed before each placement.

In this role, you will be expected to:

• Plan, teach and assess engaging lessons in line with the national curriculum and school policies.

To apply for this KS1 Teacher role, you will need:

• Relevant KS1 teaching experience, ideally in Year 1 or Year 2.
• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
• A good understanding of phonics, early reading and primary mathematics.
• Confident behaviour and classroom management skills.
• The ability to adapt teaching to support pupils with SEND and differing abilities.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
• A strong reference from a recent school placement or employer.

Working as a KS1 Teacher for Flourish Education, you will receive excellent benefits, including:

• A competitive salary of up to £232.57 per day (M1-M6, paid to scale - depending on experience)
• Holiday pay - PAYE candidates accrue 12.07% of their daily rate into a holiday pot.
• Pension contributions.
• KCSIE-compliant Safeguarding and Prevent Duty training, including modules covering legislation, FGM and abuse awareness.
• Regular contact and support throughout the registration process and while on placement.
• Your own dedicated consultant, who will take the time to get to know you and help find placements where you can thrive.
