About the Role:

In this role, you will support learning across year groups EYFS to Year 6, including covering PPA sessions, allowing you to apply the skills you developed during your PGCE and continue building your teaching experience for the future.

Who We're Looking For:
* Early Career Teachers who have recently completed a Primary PGCE with QTS
* Passionate about working with primary-aged children
* Motivated to gain experience and develop skills in a supportive environment
* DBS on the Update Service
* References covering the last 2 years
What We Offer:
* Full-time, long-term roles from September 2026
* Opportunities to build teaching experience while supporting learning
* Potential to transition into a permanent teaching role
* Work in a welcoming and supportive primary school
* A recruitment day in mid-June, offering a chance to see the school, meet the team, and learn more about the role
* Aspire People has a track record of successful placements and recruitment days leading to permanent staff positions
