Key Stage 2 Teacher

A supportive and forward-thinking primary school in Gateshead is looking for a confident and enthusiastic Key Stage 2 Teacher to join their teaching team and help pupils develop the knowledge, confidence, and independence they need before moving into secondary education.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a school where learning is valued, staff are supported, and pupils are encouraged to explore new ideas and challenge themselves.

The role is term time only, working 8.30am to 3.30pm, supporting pupils within Key Stage 2.

The Role

As a KS2 Teacher, you will play an important role in helping pupils build strong academic foundations while encouraging them to become confident and independent learners.
