Royston

Are you an imaginative Key Stage 1 teacher seeking an immediate opportunity after the half-term break to inspire young minds and foster a lifelong enthusiasm for learning?

Can you cultivate a structured, high-achieving classroom environment that balances early curriculum goals with adaptive, play-informed teaching methods?

Are you looking to secure a full-time, long-term KS1 role starting after the holidays, or flexible day-to-day supply opportunities across local schools in Royston?

Randstad is currently recruiting exceptional Qualified Primary Teachers (QTS mandatory) specialising in Key Stage 1 for a full-time, long-term contract starting after the half-term holidays at a welcoming partner Primary School in Royston. Alongside this ongoing placement, we are actively onboarding adaptable educators for flexible Key Stage 1 supply teaching across the area. Whether you want the continuity of your own Year 1 or Year 2 class or prefer the flexibility of daily cover, this school provides a rich learning environment dedicated to pupil attainment and well-being.

• Adapted Curriculum Delivery: Formulate and execute differentiated, high-impact lesson plans strictly aligned with Key Stage 1 National Curriculum guidelines to cater to varied early capabilities (or deliver set work effectively during supply cover).

• Classroom Team Leadership: Direct, mentor, and collaborate with room Teaching Assistants to maintain a safe, highly organised, and positive early years learning space.
• Progress Assessment & Tracking: Implement structured assessment frameworks to monitor individual milestones, track phonics screening progress, evaluate academic growth, and celebrate achievements.
• Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Liaise closely alongside the SENCO, early phase leaders, and school leadership to support SEND and EAL pupils effectively.
• Parental Partnerships & Handovers: Maintain clear, encouraging communication with parents and carers at drop-off/pick-up, or leave comprehensive notes following supply assignments.

What You'll Bring to the Team

• Pedagogical Knowledge: Solid grasp of Key Stage 1 curriculum expectations, phonics programmes, continuous provision strategies, and positive behaviour reinforcement.
• Professional Resilience & Adaptability: A calm, compassionate, and grounded approach to leading young learners with confidence, whether in a permanent classroom base or across various supply settings.
