  • Maintain strong communication with parents and carers, providing regular updates on progress and wellbeing.
  • Work collaboratively with the KS1 team and wider school staff to ensure continuity and consistency.
  • Uphold high standards of behaviour, promoting a safe, respectful, and inclusive learning atmosphere.

Requirements:

  • A recognised teaching qualification (e.g., QTS, PGCE).
  • Experience teaching within KS1 or strong understanding of the KS1 curriculum.
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills.
  • Ability to work effectively as part of a team and contribute positively to school life.

What you'll get from us:

  • You will be paid a competitive daily rate with PAYE payments - no umbrella companies or paying any fees!
  • You will receive the benefits of working with your own personal Teaching consultant who specialises in the Wiltshire area.
  • Support in finding you the perfect role!
  • The chance to work in some great schools around your local area
