Job description

KS2 Academic Coach

Are you a graduate with a strong academic background, looking to gain school-based experience before teacher training?

*** September 2025 to July 2026
*** £80–£95 per day
*** ‘Good’ 3-Form Entry Primary School, Selly Oak
*** 1:1 and small group SATs support in Year 6

The Role
You’ll support Year 6 pupils with targeted SATs preparation. That means running 1:1 and small group sessions in reading, writing and maths, helping pupils close learning gaps and build confidence. You’ll work alongside experienced teachers and get clear guidance and feedback throughout the year.

The Candidate
You’ve got a 2:1 or above from a top university, strong core subject grades, and experience working with children—maybe through tutoring, mentoring or volunteering. You’re calm, clear, and consistent. You want to help children do better and you’re serious about a future in teaching.

The School
A popular, well-run primary in Selly Oak with three classes per year group. The leadership team is experienced and supportive, and staff turnover is low. You’ll join a high-performing Year 6 team who know how to get the best out of their pupils—and their graduates.

Due to the number of applications, only successful candidates will be contacted.
