Pay: £168.80 - £243.45

Type: Temporary (Ongoing)

Hours: Full-time

Start date: September 2026

KS2 Class Teacher – Taunton

Location: Rural Taunton
Start Date: September
Contract: Full-time, 5 days per week – ongoing
Hours: 8:30am – 3:15pm, with additional time required for planning and preparation

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced and resilient KS2 Teacher to join a small, rural primary school near Taunton from September.

This is a unique opportunity to work within a close-knit school community of just 28 pupils. The successful teacher will take responsibility for a mixed KS2 class of 14 pupils across Years 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Due to the mixed-age nature of the class, the successful candidate will need to confidently plan, differentiate and deliver learning across multiple year groups. At times, this may involve teaching different groups using separate boards or screens to ensure learning is appropriately tailored to each year group.

The class has a high level and variety of SEND needs. One pupil has an EHCP and receives dedicated 1:1 support from a Teaching Assistant, while another pupil currently attends on a part-time timetable.

This is a full teaching role with responsibility for planning, delivering lessons, assessment and marking. The Headteacher will provide support where needed, and the successful candidate will have access to a wide range of planning resources and tools.

About the Candidate

The ideal candidate will be an experienced, confident and adaptable teacher who is comfortable taking responsibility within a small and sometimes challenging school environment. The school is ideally seeking a teacher at UPS1 level, although applications from other suitably experienced teachers will be considered.

The successful candidate will possess:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)

• Several years of successful classroom teaching experience, ideally within KS2

• Experience planning and teaching across different year groups and ability levels

• Strong knowledge of the KS2 curriculum

• Confidence supporting pupils with a range of SEND needs

• Excellent behaviour and classroom management skills

• The ability to differentiate learning effectively within a mixed-age class

• A calm, resilient and nurturing approach

• The ability to work well under pressure and manage a high level of responsibility

• Strong communication, organisation and teamwork skills

• A genuine commitment to supporting every pupil to make progress

The pupils are described as lovely; however, the school is transparent that the environment can at times be challenging. The successful teacher will therefore need to be resilient, flexible and confident in managing the demands of a small school.

As a very small team, staff work closely together to coordinate responsibilities, including breaks and lunchtimes. The school is extremely rural with no nearby public transport, so access to a car is essential.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced teacher who enjoys working within a close-knit school community and is looking for a rewarding role where they can make a genuine impact.

We seek individuals that are skilled in recognising the emotional and educational needs of the learner and who are able to respond to and create appropriate learning activities & opportunities around the needs of individual learners. Many of the learners have not engaged in education for a significant amount of time so commonly, an individual approach for each child is necessary. 

If you have already had training in positive behaviour management such as Team Teach / PBM / MAPA and/or THRIVE training we would be particularly interested in hearing from you. If you have practical experience of working with children displaying challenging behaviour and are successful in your application for this post, Team Teach training will be offered free of charge and would be a requirement of the post.

Employer Benefits

However, if you have experience as a Learning Support Assistant (LSA), Teaching Assistant, Behaviour Mentor, Youth Support worker or similar, we would still very much be interested in hearing from you.

Essential Criteria: Maths & English at Grade C or grade 4 (minimum.) In certain circumstances, we can consider applicants willing to work towards (or already working towards) gaining these qualifications through functional skills (or equivalent) qualifications.

The role is offered on a 60-day trial period with the intention to offer permanent contract after successful trial completion. This is a great opportunity for anyone looking for a role that offers training and progression opportunities within the organisation and to be part of a supportive organisation that has expansion plans in the near future.

Location: Fishponds, Bristol

Start date: May 2026

Hours: Full-time, 8:30am - 4:00pm, Monday to Friday

Type: Temp-to-perm contract

Salary: £168.80 - £261.78 per day during trial (£32,916-£51,047.36 perm salary comparison, experience dependent)

Our brand new special school for primary-aged learners (KS1, KS2 + Yr7) opened in September 2024 in the Fishponds area of Bristol and we're recruiting for a SEND Teacher (Primary) to join the current staff team.

Elmtree Grove School is open based on the successes of learner outcomes at our 9 Elmtree Learning Partnership AP sites operating since 2022 www.elmtree-learning.org.uk . The school supports up to 28 learners and has plans to increase learner capacity in the future. 

All of the learners we support are vulnerable and have an EHCP to define their additional needs. Creativity, perseverance and an empathetic approach is key to engaging our learners in education and ensuring their progression.

We are inviting applications for a SEND Teacher (Primary) to join our established team and inspire our learners. Our learners need enhanced support to develop their language & literacy skills. Often, our learners have missed significant periods of education so require an empathetic, patient approach with creative, enjoyable & accessible lessons.

This role will involve:

• Delivering an adapted Primary curriculum across our school
• Delivering high-quality lessons to all learners across the school
• Ensuring that all activities are accessible to individual learners who, across the school, have a wide range of needs
• Understanding and supporting the challenges of our learners
• Motivating & inspiring our learners to engage & achieve
• Providing practical resources & strategies for colleagues to use & integrate into other lessons
• Helping to champion the work of our learners

For the SEND Teacher (Primary) we're looking for a qualified primary teacher (holding UK QTS / QTLS) with good SEND experience. Applicants best suited to this role will have previous experience of having worked with learners that have SEND relating to SEMH & trauma who also have other barriers or challenges to their education. Unfortunately for this role ECTs cannot be considered unless they can demonstrate significant previous SEND experience & expertise. There is no current commitment on offer to supporting ECT induction. 

We're growing our team so if you love working with people who are dedicated to supporting young people and strive to support child development in a positive setting, this is the role for you.

Every Child, Every Opportunity, The Right Opportunity

Our approach is to offer a bespoke and relevant learning program for each learner. Integration into standardised education opportunities and social integration is everything we do. No child should have their future negatively affected or be excluded in their later life due to the lack of access or support for education opportunities that are appropriate to their abilities & strengths.

We believe strongly in people and look for people that have:

• Education-relevant qualifications in supporting teaching & learning
• good experience in supporting young people in an education setting
• understanding and expertise in supporting learners with SEND
• skills & strategies in supporting emotional wellbeing
• tenacity & resilience to manage, influence & effect positive behaviours & decisions in learners
• the ability to present a strong role model for young people, including having fun!
• collaborative and pro-active working practices
• a strong sense of responsibility & work ethic

Working with our organisation is a rewarding experience. We offer an enjoyable workplace with additional employment benefits for our permanent staff colleagues:

• Bright HR - online HR management portal also offering partner discounts
• Private Healthcare (Vitality)
• Employee Assist - independent healthcare perks
• Free training - role specific & relevant, accredited training
• Employee Support Assistant - dedicated colleagues to coach & support our employees
• Pension scheme
• company celebration events

Applications are welcomed from candidates that meet the vast majority of the above job & person criteria. We also recognise that many people who are interested in such a role may not have specific experience as detailed so we would still welcome an application from those that have substantial experience of supporting young people with SEND or other challenges in education.

All applications will be managed by Elementa. Successful applications will have a full-prescreen, interview, ‘insight session’ and visit to one of our Alternative Provision sites. Any (permanent) appointment will be subject to a successful interview process, satisfactory references, DBS Enhanced Disclosure (which may be chargeable at £64.20 unless you have a DBS subscribed to the Update Service) and successful completion of employment trial period.

Please apply with your full up to date CV. All applicants will be promptly responded to.

Our new special school for learners predominently in year groups 6-9 (ages 11-14) opens in September 2026 in a purpose built modern school building.

We will be supporting up to 28 learners with a view to gradually increasing learner capacity in the future. 

All of the learners we support are vulnerable and have an EHCP to define their additional needs or an EHCP in progress. The needs of the children mainly relate to Autism, ADHD, SEMH, Trauma & PDA. Creativity, perseverance and an empathetic approach when working our learners is key to engaging them in education and ensuring their future progression.

We are inviting applications for a highly experienced SEND Teacher to join our initial teaching team and inspire our learners. We're looking for applicants that can demonstrate good previous experience of haveing worked with SEND learners ideally in an SEND School setting. Previous experience is particularly important as the initial team will comprise 5 staff who will need to work autonomously.

For the SEND Teacher we're looking for an experienced and Fully Qualified Teacher (FQT) with UK QTS. ECTs cannot be considered for this particular role.

Our learners need enhanced support to develop their language & literacy skills. Often, our learners have missed significant periods of education so require an empathetic, patient approach with enjoyable & accesible lessons.

This role will involve:

Every Child, Every Opportunity, The Right Opportunity

Our approach is to offer a bespoke and relevant learning program for each learner. Integration into standardised education opportunities and social integration is everything we do.
