Are you looking for a part-time KS1 teaching role where inclusion, relationships and genuine care for every child are at the heart of school life?
A friendly village primary school in the Ware area is seeking a passionate Year 1/2 Class Teacher to join its close-knit team from September 2026. This is a wonderful opportunity for a teacher who thrives in a small school environment, enjoys being part of a collaborative team, and is committed to ensuring every child feels valued, included and able to succeed.

- Part-time Class Teacher
- Mixed Year 1/2 class
- 3 or 4 days per week (Wednesday-Friday or Monday, Wednesday-Friday)
- Fixed-term contract until 31 August 2027
- Full class responsibility
- September 2026 start
- Strong knowledge and recent experience of KS1 and Little Wandle Phonics essential

The School
- A small Church of England village primary school near Ware, Hertfordshire

This school is looking for far more than someone who can deliver lessons. They are searching for a teacher who understands what makes a small village school special, someone who is happy to roll their sleeves up, work collaboratively with colleagues and become an important part of the wider school community.
The successful teacher will have a genuine understanding of therapeutic and inclusive practice. Within the class are two pupils with Autism who attend mornings, each with differing needs. The school is seeking someone who understands how to adapt learning naturally, build positive relationships and ensure every child feels fully included rather than simply accommodated. Support, mentoring and any required training will be provided.
If you are compassionate, flexible, skilled in KS1 teaching and phonics, and believe every child deserves to flourish within an inclusive classroom, this could be an exceptionally rewarding opportunity.
Can you offer:
- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
- Recent KS1 teaching experience
- Strong knowledge of Little Wandle Phonics
- Experience supporting children with Autism and SEND
- A therapeutic, inclusive approach to teaching and learning
- Commitment to becoming an active member of a small, supportive school community
We can offer you:
- Our support and experience as the primary specialist working in partnership with Herts Education
- Pay to scale
- PAYE pay with additional employee benefits
- Health and wellbeing support
- Ongoing support throughout your placement
