About the role

Heart of Supply is delighted to be recruiting a dedicated Year 5/6 Teacher for a beautiful village primary school just outside Lincoln. This full-time role begins in January 2025 and runs through to July 2025, offering a fantastic opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the second half of the academic year.

You will be teaching a mixed Year 5/6 class of lively, thoughtful and motivated pupils who are eager to learn and ready for the challenges of upper Key Stage 2. The school prides itself on its warm, community-focused ethos, where every child is known, supported and encouraged to thrive.

This is more than a teaching post, it's a chance to be part of a nurturing school environment where staff work collaboratively, children are inspired daily, and learning is full of curiosity, creativity and purpose. You'll play a key role in preparing pupils for their transition into Year 6 and beyond, helping them grow in confidence, independence and academic readiness.

This welcoming village primary school offers a truly special environment, set in a beautiful rural location where children feel safe, supported and inspired every day. The school combines traditional values with a forward-thinking approach, creating learning experiences that feel meaningful, engaging and full of possibility.

At its heart is a strong sense of community. Staff, pupils and families work closely together, fostering a culture where everyone is cared for, valued and encouraged to flourish. The school's inclusive atmosphere and nurturing ethos make it a place where children thrive academically, socially and emotionally, and where staff feel part of something genuinely positive and collaborative.

What you will need:

• QTS (Qualified Teacher Status)
• Recent experience teaching in Key Stage 2 (minimum 6 weeks in a UK primary school)
• A strong understanding of the KS2 curriculum, particularly the expectations of upper Key Stage 2
• The ability to create a safe, inclusive and engaging learning environment where pupils feel confident and supported
• Excellent communication and effective classroom management skills
• A positive, collaborative approach and a genuine passion for helping children thrive academically and personally

What we offer you:

• Competitive weekly PAYE pay
• Roles tailored to your lifestyle - daily, short-term or long-term
• Access to exclusive teaching opportunities across Lincolnshire
• A friendly, experienced consultant who genuinely listens
• Free CPD and ongoing professional development
• A simple, generous 'Refer a Friend' scheme
• A warm, people-first agency that puts your journey at the heart of everything we do

We are fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All applicants will undergo a thorough compliance process, including enhanced DBS (with children's barred list check), references, and online checks.
