Job description

Year 1 Teacher – Primary School | Maldon
Full-Time | Immediate Start | Long-Term Opportunity 

Ready to inspire young learners at the very start of their school journey?

GSL Education is working with a friendly and well-regarded primary school in Maldon to recruit an enthusiastic and dedicated Year 1 Teacher for an immediate start. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a supportive school where creativity, teamwork, and pupil wellbeing are at the heart of everything they do.


About the Role

As a Year 1 Teacher, you’ll play a key role in helping children transition from Early Years into Key Stage 1, building strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, and confidence.

You’ll be teaching a lively and engaging class, supported by a welcoming team of staff and leadership who value collaboration and new ideas. The school is looking for someone who can bring energy into the classroom while maintaining a structured and nurturing learning environment.


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Planning and delivering engaging and creative lessons in line with the KS1 curriculum
  • Supporting pupils’ academic, social, and emotional development
  • Creating a positive, inclusive, and stimulating classroom environment
  • Assessing and monitoring pupil progress
  • Working closely with teaching assistants and colleagues
  • Building strong relationships with parents and carers
  • Contributing to the wider life of the school

What We’re Looking For

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
  • Experience teaching in EYFS or KS1, ideally Year 1
  • A creative, positive, and adaptable teaching style
  • Strong classroom and behaviour management skills
  • A team player with excellent communication skills
  • A genuine passion for supporting young learners

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Join a supportive and welcoming primary school in Maldon
  • Opportunity to make a real impact at a key stage in children’s development
  • Immediate start with long-term stability
  • Work through GSL Education with ongoing support from your consultant
  • A positive school environment where your ideas and input are valued

If you’re a passionate Year 1 teacher ready to step into a rewarding role and make a difference from day one, we’d love to hear from you.
