Areas We Cover

We are currently supporting schools in Chaddesden, Alvaston, Normanton, Oakwood, Allestree, Mickleover, Littleover, Spondon, Long Eaton, Melbourne, Chellaston, Sunnyhill, and Sinfin. These roles are primarily within supportive, well-established primary schools, with both live vacancies and anticipated future opportunities.

We’re recruiting for Booster Teachers to work in KS2, supporting pupils on a long-term, short-term, day-to-day, or part-time basis—depending on your availability and preference.

What is a Booster Teacher?

As a KS2 Booster Teacher, you’ll play a vital role in improving pupil outcomes and helping children reach the standards expected of them. You’ll work with targeted groups of pupils—often from multiple classes—carefully grouped by ability. Your sessions will focus on building confidence, closing learning gaps, and accelerating progress in key areas like maths and English.

You won’t just be supporting learning—you’ll be helping children believe in themselves again. These sessions are designed to make a measurable difference, especially for those who need an extra push to meet age-related expectations or succeed in SATs.

This is a highly collaborative role. You’ll work closely with classroom teachers and the wider school team to ensure your interventions are aligned, consistent, and focused on what each child really needs. You’ll be part of a joined-up effort to raise standards and help every child succeed.

Your work will have a direct and visible impact—and to recognise that, we offer some of the best daily rates around.

Working Hours

Your working timetable will depend on the role and the school, with flexibility to suit both full and part-time availability. We offer long-term, short-term, and day-to-day booster teaching roles. Planning may or may not be required depending on how the school structures their intervention sessions.

You’ll be supported throughout by both Classroom Recruiters and the school itself, allowing you to focus on maximising your teaching impact. SLT guidance and ECT cover time are built in where relevant, and your wellbeing and workload will always be considered.

Excellent Team and Leadership Support

You’ll be part of a strong, nurturing team environment and supported by senior leadership who are invested in your success and the progress of the pupils you support.

Qualifications

• Qualifications Required : QTS (Qualified Teacher Status), PGCE, or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification.

Who We’re Looking For

2. Stage 2 : Meet with the Head Teacher and potentially deliver a short activity or booster session.
