Primary School Intervention Teacher - Newport September 2026 Start

Do you enjoy helping pupils overcome challenges and seeing the difference that targeted support can make?

Academics is a renowned education recruitment agency, working with a well-established primary school in Newport who are looking to appoint a Primary Intervention Teacher from September 2026.

This role will focus on providing additional support to pupils who may be finding certain areas of their learning challenging. You will work with individuals and small groups, delivering focused sessions across areas such as phonics, reading, writing and maths.

You’ll have the opportunity to work closely with class teachers to understand pupils’ needs and put appropriate support in place. The school is looking for someone who can make learning accessible, encourage pupils when they find things difficult and help them recognise their own progress.
