Year 5 Class Teacher

Location: Hackney Central

Year 5 Class Teacher

Start date:

13th April 2026

Duration:
One term initially, with the possibility of extension

Location:

Hackney, East London

This Hackney primary school requires a key stage 2 teacher for a Year 5 class. The role is to cover a maternity absence for 1 term. However, there is a strong possibility the school may be able to offer the right teacher a permanent job for September 2026. This is a very welcoming and well‑loved Catholic primary school in Hackney often praised for their high standards.

This is a one‑term role to begin with, with the potential to continue based on the needs of the school.

About the School

* A nurturing, community‑focused Catholic school with a strong ethos and inclusive values

* Supportive leadership team and friendly staff

* Well‑behaved, enthusiastic pupils who love to learn

* Excellent links with families and the wider community

The Role

* Full‑time Year 5 class teacher

* Planning, delivering and assessing engaging lessons

* Contributing to the wider life of the school

* Upholding the school’s Catholic ethos (you do not need to be Catholic, but you must be supportive of the values)

What we are looking for

* A qualified teacher (ECTs and experienced teachers welcome)

* Someone warm, organised and committed to high‑quality teaching

* A teacher who builds positive relationships and creates a calm, purposeful classroom

* Strong behaviour management and a passion for helping pupils thrive

* Someone who has the right to work in the UK as the school will not be able to offer sponsorship

If you are a dedicated primary teacher looking for a rewarding role in a lovely Hackney school, we would love to hear from you.

If this Year 5 teaching job is not quite what you are looking for and you are looking for a change in jobs for either April 2026 or September 2026, please get in contact with me
