Schools Mutual Services West Midlands is seeking an enthusiastic, confident and dedicated Year 6 Teacher to join a welcoming primary school in Birmingham.

This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified primary teacher who is passionate about helping pupils thrive during their final year of primary education. The successful candidate will take responsibility for a Year 6 class, delivering engaging lessons while supporting pupils academically, socially and emotionally as they prepare for the transition to secondary school.

You will work closely with Teaching Assistants, fellow teachers and the wider school team to provide a positive, structured and supportive classroom environment where every pupil is encouraged to achieve their potential.

We are looking for someone who has:

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or an appropriate recognised teaching qualification.
  • Experience teaching within a primary school environment.
  • A strong understanding of the Key Stage 2 curriculum.
  • The confidence to plan and deliver engaging Year 6 lessons.
  • The ability to differentiate learning to meet a range of abilities and needs.
  • Strong classroom and behaviour-management skills.
  • A positive and encouraging approach to teaching and learning.
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills.
  • The ability to build strong relationships with pupils, colleagues and parents or carers.
  • A commitment to safeguarding and improving outcomes for children.

Previous experience teaching Year 6 or working within Upper Key Stage 2 would be highly beneficial. Experience supporting pupils with SATs preparation and helping children prepare for the transition to secondary education would also be advantageous.

We are looking for an experienced and committed primary teacher who can demonstrate a strong understanding of Key Stage 2 and a genuine passion for helping pupils succeed.
