Reception Teacher, EYFS, Full-time, Summer Term 2025

A lovely infant school based in Nuneaton would like a teacher to join their welcoming and supportive team to cover their Reception class whose teacher is going off on maternity leave. I have been advised that they would like a teacher for 5 days, PPA time will be given during the week.

Your new roleYou will be starting after the Easter break. Ideally, the school would like the successful teacher to complete a handover, but they're aware that this may not be the case due to other work commitments. The role will then continue until the end of the academic year.The expectation will be that you will be responsible for the planning and preparation of lessons - this will be shared with your counterpart, PPA time will be taken together, which I always think is rather useful, you will be treated like a permanent member of staff and will therefore be expected to attend staff meetings, conduct parents-evening, write end of year reports and plan end of years assemblies.The school allows all teachers a day at home to complete all end of year reports, which is fantastic.First and foremost, the head teacher would like a committed and dedicated teacher. They have never required a teacher on a long-term basis before and would really like the successful person to be able to commit to the entirety of their maternity leave.What you'll need to succeed

• You must have a good knowledge of the EYFS national curriculum.
• You should be able to adapt to different teaching methods and environments and be confident in doing so.
• You must have experience teaching within the last 5 years in the teaching industry and hold a QTS, PGCE or ECT.

What you'll get in return

• Exclusive access to long-term and permanent teaching opportunities with our partnership schools.
• Daily pay rates comparative to permanent members of teaching staff (AWR legislation)
• An expert consultant to offer support and guidance
• Refer a friend reward scheme - £250 for every referral
