Contract Type: Full-time
We are seeking a nurturing, enthusiastic, and dedicated Year 1 Teacher to join a welcoming and inclusive primary school in Southwark. This is a fantastic opportunity for a passionate Key Stage 1 practitioner to support pupils at a vital stage of their educational journey as they transition from the Early Years Foundation Stage into more structured learning.
The successful candidate will take full responsibility for a Year 1 class and deliver high-quality teaching across the National Curriculum. You will plan engaging, well-sequenced lessons that develop early literacy, phonics, writing, and numeracy skills while continuing to support pupils’ social, emotional, and personal development. Creating a classroom environment that is structured yet nurturing will be central to your role.
