Year 2 Teacher – BH22
Full-time | Long-term | Start after Easter
Not every school gets this stage right.
Year 2 is where things start to click — reading becomes fluent, confidence grows, and pupils begin to see themselves as learners. One of our lovely schools in BH22 understands that, and they’re looking for a teacher who does too.
You’ll be joining a warm, community-focused school with a supportive leadership team, a KS1 team that genuinely works together, and pupils who are engaged and ready to learn. No gimmicks — just a positive environment where you can focus on teaching well.
What you’ll actually be doing
You’ll take full responsibility for a Year 2 class, guiding them through a key point in their development. That includes SATs preparation — but without losing sight of what really matters: building confidence, curiosity, and strong foundations.
Phonics, reading, writing, maths — it’s all part of the role, but you’ll have the flexibility to teach it in a way that works.
What matters here
- Experience teaching in KS1 (Year 2 is a bonus, not essential)
- Strong understanding of phonics and early learning
- Calm, consistent classroom management
- Clear communication with staff and parents
(QTS and a DBS on the Update Service — or willingness to obtain one — are required.)
What you’ll get in return
- A genuinely supportive school environment
- A collaborative KS1 team
- A dedicated consultant who keeps things straightforward
- Competitive weekly pay
- Access to CPD when you want it
Looking for something slightly different?

If you’re looking for a role where you can just get on with teaching — and do it well — this could be a great fit.
