KS1 Teacher

Are you an inspiring, enthusiastic Key Stage 1 Primary Teacher looking for a better work-life balance or aiming to build strong connections with schools across the Fenland area? Whether you are seeking the total freedom and flexibility of day-to-day cover, or looking for the rewarding continuity and class ownership of a long-term placement, we have fantastic opportunities tailored to your schedule.

We are currently partnering with a welcoming network of primary schools and academies near Chatteris and across the surrounding East Cambridgeshire and Fenland communities. We are experiencing high demand for engaging QTS primary specialists to teach across Year 1 and Year 2.

Whether you are an experienced KS1 Primary Teacher looking to step back from full-time responsibilities, a subject-confident educator open to flexible supply, or an Early Career Teacher (ECT) looking to gain broad experience and build relationships across local schools, we can help you find your ideal setup.

• Day-to-Day Cover: Enjoy complete control over your working week with total flexibility. Choose the exact days you want to work to perfectly balance your personal commitments, family life, or hobbies while exploring different primary settings.

• Long-Term Opportunities: For those seeking routine and the chance to build strong, supportive relationships with children, colleagues, and parents, we offer fixed-term placements spanning a term or a full academic year. These roles allow you to embed yourself fully within a school community, lead a class team, and drive student progress over time.

• Deliver high-quality, engaging lessons across Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) that spark imagination, nurture early literacy and numeracy skills, and support foundational learning.

• Create a warm, positive, safe, and inclusive classroom environment using supportive behaviour management strategies in line with individual school policies.

• Integrate systematic synthetic phonics (such as Little Wandle, Read Write Inc., or Phonics Play) effectively to build early reading and writing confidence.

• Differentiate learning resources and continuous provision activities to support pupils with diverse learning needs, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) or high prior attainment.

• Leave clear, constructive handover notes for regular class teachers when fulfilling day-to-day cover assignments.

• For long-term roles: take on full teaching responsibilities, including planning, assessment, tracking pupil progress against National Curriculum targets (including Phonics Screening Check preparation), attending department meetings, and participating in parents' evenings as required.

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) (or recognised UK teaching qualification).

• Strong curriculum knowledge across Key Stage 1, alongside confidence in delivering early phonics and foundational maths skills.

• Warm, confident classroom management skills and an adaptable, proactive approach.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to build rapport quickly with staff, young pupils, and parents.

• A valid Enhanced DBS check registered on the Update Service (or a willingness to apply for one).

• Competitive daily rates of pay, processed weekly and reflective of your experience level and role commitments.

• A dedicated local consultant with deep knowledge of the primary education sector near Chatteris and the Fenland region.

• Complete flexibility to set and update your availability on your own terms.

• Direct networking opportunities with top local primary schools, frequently leading to direct contract and permanent offers.
