Primary Teacher (EYFS, KS1 & KS2) - September 2026 Start

Wakefield areas Long-Term, Fixed-Term & Potential Permanent Opportunities

Competitive Daily Rates Supportive Schools Flexible Career Options

Are you a passionate and qualified Primary Teacher looking for the right opportunity this September?

I'm currently partnering with a number of highly regarded primary schools across Wakefield who are seeking talented teachers for roles within Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), Key Stage 1 (KS1), and Key Stage 2 (KS2). These schools aren't simply looking to fill vacancies-they're looking for teachers who can inspire pupils, build positive relationships, and make a lasting impact in the classroom.

Whether you're an experienced teacher seeking your next challenge, returning to the classroom, or looking for a long-term role with the potential to become permanent, I'd love to help you find a position that genuinely fits your career goals.

Why These Opportunities Stand Out

• September starts available across EYFS, KS1 and KS2
• Long-term placements, fixed-term contracts and permanent opportunities
• Well-led schools with supportive senior leadership teams
• Consistent teaching roles rather than unpredictable day-to-day cover
• Strong behaviour expectations and positive learning environments
• Opportunities to teach within your preferred key stage
• Schools committed to staff wellbeing, development and work-life balance
• Competitive rates of pay paid weekly

What You'll Be Doing

• Deliver engaging and high-quality lessons aligned with the National Curriculum
• Create a positive, inclusive and stimulating learning environment
• Monitor and assess pupil progress effectively
• Build strong relationships with pupils, parents and colleagues
• Support pupils' academic, social and emotional development
• Contribute positively to the wider school community

About You

To be considered for these Primary Teacher opportunities, you will:

• Hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification
• Have recent experience teaching within EYFS, KS1 or KS2
• Demonstrate strong curriculum knowledge and classroom management skills
• Be committed to raising standards and pupil achievement
• Be passionate about creating positive learning experiences for children
• Have an enhanced DBS on the Update Service or be willing to obtain one

You'll benefit from:

• A dedicated education recruitment specialist throughout your job search
• Access to exclusive teaching opportunities across Wakefield and the surrounding areas
• Honest advice and transparent communication
• Competitive pay rates
• Ongoing support before, during and after placement
• Opportunities that align with your preferences and professional goals
