KS1 Class Teacher: Part-Time Maternity Cover

Not every great teaching opportunity needs to be full-time.

Academics are recruiting an experienced KS1 Teacher for a part-time maternity cover position at a welcoming primary school in Berkhamsted.

This is an excellent opportunity for a teacher who wants the consistency of having their own class and becoming part of a school community, without committing to a full five-day working week.

The opportunity

As the school's KS1 Teacher, you will take responsibility for the class on your agreed working days, working closely with the existing teaching team to ensure continuity throughout the maternity period.

The school is an established primary setting in Berkhamsted with a supportive team and a strong focus on creating a positive learning environment for its pupils.

We're looking for someone who can bring experience, consistency and enthusiasm into the classroom from day one.

Position: KS1 Class Teacher
Location: Berkhamsted
Contract: Part-time maternity cover
Pay: £171-£245 per day, depending on experience and responsibilities

Who would suit this role?

We're particularly interested in hearing from a KS1 Teacher who already has good experience teaching within Key Stage 1.

You'll need to be confident with:

Planning and delivering the KS1 curriculum
Phonics and early reading
Assessment and pupil progress
Differentiating lessons effectively
Maintaining positive classroom behaviour
Working collaboratively with teaching assistants and colleagues
Communicating effectively with parents and carersAbove all, we're looking for an experienced teacher who can provide stability and consistency throughout the maternity cover.

Looking for part-time teaching?

Quality part-time teaching opportunities can be difficult to find, particularly in popular areas such as Berkhamsted.

That's why this position could suit an experienced KS1 Teacher who wants to remain in the classroom while achieving a better balance outside school.

Academics works closely with primary schools across Berkhamsted, providing teachers with access to supply, long-term and permanent opportunities.

If you're an experienced KS1 Teacher looking for part-time work in Berkhamsted, we'd be keen to tell you more.
