Year 4 Teacher

Your next teaching role could be closer than you think.

We're working with a number of welcoming primary schools across Waltham Forest who are looking for a passionate Year 4 Teacher ready to inspire, challenge, and support pupils as they settle into the rhythm of Key Stage 2.

Year 4 is where things really start to click. Pupils are growing in confidence, building on their KS2 foundations, and beginning to think more deeply and independently. You'll play a key role in guiding that journey, helping children develop resilience, curiosity, and a genuine love for learning, all within a team that values creativity, consistency, and proper care.

If you enjoy seeing those lightbulb moments and helping children realise what they're capable of, this could be a brilliant next step.

What you'll be doing:

• Planning and delivering engaging, well-structured lessons tailored to Year 4 pupils, in line with the National Curriculum
• Building on early KS2 skills, helping pupils deepen their understanding and grow in independence
• Strengthening reading, writing, and maths to support more confident, fluent learners
• Encouraging curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity across the curriculum
• Creating a calm, positive classroom where pupils feel supported, challenged, and motivated
• Adapting teaching to meet the needs of SEND and EAL learners so every child can access learning
• Managing behaviour through clear routines, consistency, and positive reinforcement
• Working closely with TAs, parents, and senior leaders to support progress
• Playing an active part in school life while upholding safeguarding at all times

The right fit for this role will be someone who:

• Holds UK QTS
• Has recent experience in KS2, with a solid understanding of the Year 4 curriculum
• Brings a calm, confident presence into the classroom
• Supports pupils to become more independent and resilient learners
• Builds strong, trusting relationships with pupils, staff, and families
• Is genuinely passionate about helping children grow in confidence and capability
