Croydon classrooms are getting ready for a fresh September start, and they’re looking for brilliant teachers who are ready to make a real difference from day one.
We’re working in partnership with a number of welcoming, well-led primary schools across Croydon, supporting their September permanent recruitment plans and helping them secure the right educators early, so they can head into the new term feeling fully prepared.
If you’re the kind of teacher who brings energy into a room, builds strong relationships, and knows how to turn a Monday morning into something meaningful, this could be exactly your kind of role.
We’re working with schools across KS1 and KS2 who are actively looking for permanent teachers. Whether you’re an experienced classroom pro or an ECT ready to take your first big step, there’s a school here ready to back you.
What you can expect:
✨ Permanent teaching roles starting September
✨ Supportive SLTs who actually support (not just say they do)
✨ Friendly, collaborative staff teams
✨ Pupils who keep every day interesting in the best way
✨ Real opportunities to grow your career, not just fill a timetable
You’ll need:
• UK QTS (or completing your ECT year this summer)
• A positive, adaptable approach to classroom life
• The confidence to build strong routines and relationships
• A genuine passion for helping children thrive
