Year 3 Teacher - Maternity Cover
4 Days Per Week | Long-Term Role | Planning Required

Simply Education are currently seeking an experienced Year 3 Teacher for a long-term maternity cover position within a primary school.

The role is 4 days per week - Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday - and the successful candidate will be responsible for planning and delivering high-quality lessons across the curriculum.

This is an excellent opportunity for a confident primary teacher who can quickly establish themselves within a classroom, build positive relationships and maintain high standards of behaviour and learning.

The successful Year 3 Teacher will:

Have strong experience teaching within Key Stage 2
Ideally have previous Year 3 experience
Be confident planning and delivering engaging lessons
Have strong behaviour management and classroom control
Set clear expectations and maintain consistent boundaries
Be able to quickly establish positive relationships with pupils and staff
Be organised, reliable and able to work independently
Maintain high expectations of pupil progress and behaviour
Be confident taking full responsibility for the class during the maternity coverThis is not a role for an early-career teacher looking for a significant amount of support - the school requires a confident and experienced teacher who can hit the ground running.

If you are an experienced primary teacher looking for a long-term, 4-day-a-week opportunity, Simply Education would love to hear from you.
