CV-LibraryRM3, Harold Wood, Greater LondonpermanentPosted: 15 April 2026
Apply Now£M1 – M6 (Outer London) | Paid to Scale (PAYE)
Location
Havering, East London
Description
Full time | Paid to scale (M1 to M6)
Hours: 8:00am to 4:00pm
Start Date: 1st May
Contract: Maternity Cover until July, with potential to continue in September
Rising Hope Education are delighted to be supporting a truly beautiful and highly regarded primary school in the Borough of Havering in their search for a Year 2 Teacher to cover maternity leave from the 1st of May through to the end of the academic year.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a welcoming, well-resourced school with a strong sense of community and a leadership team that genuinely values and supports its staff. For the right teacher, there is scope for this role to continue into September, offering longer-term stability and progression.
The Role
You will take full class responsibility for a Year 2 class, delivering engaging and structured lessons that support pupils in reaching their full potential during a key stage in their learning journey.
You will be:
Planning and delivering high-quality lessons in line with the KS1 curriculum
Supporting pupils as they approach the end of Key Stage 1
Creating a positive, inclusive and well-managed classroom environment
Working collaboratively with colleagues and support staff
Monitoring progress and adapting teaching to meet individual needs
What We Are Looking For
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
Experience teaching within Key Stage 1, ideally Year 2
A confident and organised classroom practitioner
Strong behaviour management and classroom presence
A passion for delivering high-quality teaching and supporting pupil progress
Why This Role Stands Out
This is a rare opportunity to work within one of the most attractive and well-regarded school settings in Havering, known for its supportive team, calm environment and strong leadership.
The school is keen to meet teachers quickly and is offering the chance to visit, meet the team and get a real feel for the environment before making any decisions. However, due to the upcoming start date, they are looking to move swiftly, with interviews taking place this week and next week.
For the right teacher, this could open the door to a longer-term role from September and the opportunity to become part of a fantastic school community.
If you are available from the 1st of May and looking for a supportive, well-run school where you can make an immediate impact, we would love to hear from you.
