We’re working with a welcoming primary school in Downend looking for a Year 5 teacher to join them after May half term, through to the end of the summer term, with the potential to continue into the next academic year.

This is a full class teaching role, so you’ll have the space to really make it your own, build relationships, shape learning, and see the impact you’re making every day.

What the role looks like

• Full responsibility for a settled Year 5 class
• Planning, delivering, and assessing engaging lessons
• Creating a positive, inclusive classroom where every child feels valued
• Working closely with a supportive team who share ideas and have each other’s backs

What the school is like

This is a school with a strong sense of community at its heart. You’ll feel it as soon as you walk through the door.

• A clear focus on respect, kindness, and doing the right thing
• Pupils who are encouraged to be confident, thoughtful, and independent learners
• A broad, creative curriculum that brings learning to life
• A team that works collaboratively, supports one another, and celebrates the small wins (and the big ones too)

It’s the kind of place where relationships matter, staff are trusted, and children are genuinely excited to learn.
