Hays Education are working with a welcoming primary school in Coventry who are looking for a Year 5 Teacher to cover a maternity leave from January until the end of the academic year.

The school has a supportive staff team and a positive working environment, with teachers working closely together across KS2.

Your new role

This is a full-time Year 5 teaching role starting in January and running until the end of the academic year.
