Looking for rewarding, long-term teaching work after half-term? We’re working with a friendly, inclusive primary school in Bristol who are looking for a calm, confident teacher to support a Reception child on a 1:1 basis after half term.

This role is all about building trust and consistency. You’ll be a steady presence in the classroom, helping one child feel safe, understood, and ready to engage with their learning. A nurturing approach, clear routines, and a good understanding of early years development will really shine here.
