Role snapshot:
You’ll work across KS1/KS2 with a focus on KS2, delivering short, tightly planned boosters in reading, writing and maths. Pre-teach upcoming content, revisit sticky knowledge with retrieval practice, and run 1:1 catch-up when a pupil needs targeted input. Keep crisp notes on what landed, agree next actions with the class teacher, and adjust sessions quickly based on pupil response.
 
About you:
Clear communicator, organised, and calm in the bustle of a primary classroom. You break ideas into simple steps, use examples well, and help pupils build independence rather than reliance.
 
Requirements
• Degree – 2:2 or above in any subject.
• Communication – Strong written and verbal skills.
• Enhanced DBS – Held already or willingness to obtain.
• Desire to work in education/with children – Genuine commitment to inclusion and progress.
• Experience working with children – Any relevant experience (tutoring, mentoring, volunteering) is desirable but not essential.
 
The School:
This ‘Good’ two-form entry primary serves a diverse community and keeps lessons calm through simple, consistent routines. Reading is a whole-school priority: systematic phonics lower down, guided reading and vocabulary work in KS2. Maths is sequenced in small steps with daily retrieval and shared methods across year groups. Year teams co-plan and share high-quality resources—model texts, worked examples, and intervention packs—so you’re not reinventing the wheel. New staff receive a structured induction, weekly bite-size CPD, and coaching drop-ins with practical, next-day actions, giving you the right conditions to show impact and prepare for teacher training.
