We are working closely with schools seeking talented educators across EYFS, KS1, and KS2 for long-term, permanent, and fixed-term positions. These roles are ideal for experienced teachers looking to secure consistent work, develop their careers, and make a lasting impact within primary education.

  • Work collaboratively with teaching assistants, colleagues, and senior leaders
  • Contribute to the wider life of the school where appropriate

A Typical Day May Include

  • Planning and delivering lessons across the primary curriculum
  • Differentiating activities to support pupils of varying abilities
  • Assessing learning and providing constructive feedback
  • Supporting pupils' academic, social, and emotional development
  • Managing classroom behaviour effectively
  • Working alongside support staff to maximise pupil outcomes
  • Attending staff meetings, training, and school events where required

Who We're Looking For

  • Essential: Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) in the UK
  • Essential: recent and relevant experience teaching in UK primary schools
  • Strong classroom and behaviour management skills
  • A flexible, reliable, and professional approach
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills
  • A commitment to delivering high-quality teaching and learning
  • Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply)

Benefits of Working with Teaching Personnel

  • Access to a wide range of full-time, part-time, long-term, and permanent roles
  • Dedicated personal consultant providing ongoing support and career guidance
  • Access to free CPD and professional development courses
  • Opportunities to work within a variety of local schools and academy trusts
  • Support with CV writing, interview preparation, and career progression
  • Pension contributions (subject to eligibility)
  • Quick and efficient registration process
  • Flexible opportunities to suit your career goals and availability
  • Consistent work available for experienced and committed teachers
  • Strong local knowledge and established relationships with schools

STAR answer examples

Model answers using the Situation-Task-Action-Result framework. Adapt to your own experience.

1Question

Tell me about a time you adapted your teaching approach mid-lesson because pupils were not engaging with the planned activity.

Situation: During a Year 3 maths lesson on fractions, I noticed around two-thirds of the class were disengaged within the first 15 minutes — the worksheet task was too abstract. Task: I needed to re-engage 28 pupils without losing the learning objective. Action: I paused the lesson, introduced a hands-on activity using folded paper strips to represent fractions, and restructured the remaining 25 minutes around paired practical work. I circulated to ask probing questions rather than directing from the front. Result: Pupil engagement recovered visibly; 24 out of 28 pupils completed the learning objective successfully, and the class teaching assistant noted it was the most productive maths lesson that week.
2Question

Describe a situation where you worked closely with a teaching assistant to improve outcomes for a specific pupil.

Situation: A Year 2 pupil on the SEND register was 18 months behind in reading and becoming increasingly withdrawn during literacy sessions. Task: Working with the class teaching assistant, I needed to design a targeted support plan within normal timetabled lessons. Action: We co-planned a daily 10-minute pre-teaching slot before whole-class reading, using decodable books matched to the pupil's phonics level. I briefed the teaching assistant each morning on the focus sounds and modelled questioning techniques. We reviewed progress fortnightly against the pupil's EHCP targets. Result: Over one term, the pupil's reading age improved by 9 months, and their participation in whole-class sessions increased noticeably, which was highlighted positively in the subsequent EHCP review meeting.
