Ready for a role where you can grow as a teacher and take your career further?

A fantastic opportunity has become available for an enthusiastic Key Stage 2 Teacher to join a welcoming and ambitious primary school in Barking & Dagenham from September 2026.

This full-time position will run for the academic year, with the potential to become permanent for the right candidate. The school is looking for a teacher who can bring enthusiasm, creativity and high expectations to the classroom while becoming an active part of the wider school team.

There are also opportunities to take on additional responsibilities and progress professionally, making this a great option for someone who wants to develop their career alongside their classroom practice.

The Role

As a Key Stage 2 Teacher, you will:

  • Deliver engaging and well-structured lessons across the Key Stage 2 curriculum
  • Create a positive classroom environment where pupils are encouraged to achieve
  • Adapt teaching to meet different abilities and learning needs
  • Monitor and assess pupil progress effectively
  • Establish strong relationships with pupils, parents and colleagues
  • Promote positive behaviour and a love of learning
  • Contribute to wider school activities and initiatives
  • Work collaboratively with colleagues to share ideas and best practice

What We're Looking For

  • QTS and experience teaching within Key Stage 2
  • Strong knowledge of the Key Stage 2 National Curriculum
  • Confident classroom management skills
  • A creative and enthusiastic approach to teaching
  • High expectations of pupil achievement and behaviour
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills
  • A collaborative approach to working with colleagues
  • Someone keen to develop professionally and take on additional responsibilities

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out?

  • M3 - UPS3 pay scale, depending on experience
  • Full-time 1-year contract from September 2026
  • Potential to secure a permanent position afterwards
  • On-site parking available
  • Supportive and collaborative school environment
  • Opportunities for career progression
  • Potential to take on additional responsibilities
  • Chance to develop leadership experience
  • Dedicated consultant support throughout the recruitment process

This is more than simply a one-year teaching position. For the right teacher, it could be the start of a long-term opportunity with scope to take on additional responsibility and progress within the school.

If you're a passionate Key Stage 2 Teacher looking for your next opportunity in Barking & Dagenham, we'd love to hear from you.

Salary will be determined by the successful candidate's qualifications and relevant experience, and will be in accordance with the client's pay policy.
