Job description

Year 5 Class Teacher - Golders Green, Barnet

Location: Golders Green, North London

Contract: Full-time, long-term

Start Date: Jan 2027

Qualification: QTS required

Enrich Education Recruitment is working with a welcoming, one-form-entry primary school in the Golders Green area looking for a confident and committed Year 5 Teacher to join its team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a teacher who enjoys working within a smaller, community-focused school where staff know their pupils well, relationships matter and every member of the team plays an important role.

The school is looking for someone who can take ownership of a Year 5 class, deliver engaging lessons and maintain high expectations while creating a positive, inclusive learning environment.

With just one class per year group, this position would particularly suit a teacher who enjoys building strong relationships with pupils, colleagues, and families and becoming a genuine part of the wider school community.

The Role

• Take full responsibility for teaching and learning within Year 5
• Plan and deliver engaging lessons across the KS2 curriculum
• Deliver strong, well-structured English and Maths teaching
• Differentiate effectively for pupils of varying abilities
• Provide appropriate challenge for higher-attaining pupils
• Support children working below age-related expectations
• Adapt teaching for pupils with SEN and additional learning needs
• Establish clear routines and positive behaviour expectations
• Assess pupil progress and identify areas requiring additional support
• Work collaboratively with Teaching Assistants and the wider school team
• Build positive relationships with parents and carers
• Prepare pupils for the increasing academic expectations of Year 6

About You

QTS is essential for this position.

The school is looking for a teacher who:

• Has experience teaching within a UK primary school
• Has a strong understanding of the KS2 curriculum
• Is confident delivering high-quality English and Maths lessons
• Demonstrates effective classroom and behaviour management
• Can adapt teaching to meet a range of learning needs
• Has high expectations for pupil achievement and behaviour
• Is organised, proactive and reflective in their practice
• Values strong relationships with pupils, families and colleagues
• Is comfortable working within a smaller, close-knit school environment

Previous Year 5 or Upper KS2 experience would be particularly valuable, although strong teachers from other primary year groups are also encouraged to apply.

The School

This is a small, one-form-entry community primary school in the Golders Green area of Barnet.

The school's smaller size offers the opportunity to really get to know the children, work closely with colleagues and play an active role in the wider school community.

Rather than being one of several teachers within a large year group, you'll have the opportunity to take ownership of your class while collaborating with the wider teaching and leadership team.

The school is situated in a well-connected part of North London, with transport links serving Golders Green, Hendon, Finchley and the surrounding areas.

This would be an excellent opportunity for a teacher looking for a school where they can settle, build meaningful relationships and make a lasting impact on their pupils.

Enrich Education Recruitment is committed to safeguarding children. All successful applicants will be subject to relevant compliance checks, including an Enhanced DBS, right-to-work checks and satisfactory references.
