Are you an inventive educator ready to spark curiosity, inspire young learners, and instill a lasting enthusiasm for discovery following the half-term break?
Can you build an ambitious, well-managed classroom atmosphere that seamlessly combines high academic expectations with creative, adaptive teaching methods?
Are you looking to secure a full-time, ongoing classroom position starting post-half term, or flexible daily supply teaching across primary schools in Hertford?
Randstad Education is seeking an outstanding Primary Teacher (QTS mandatory) for a full-time, long-term placement commencing directly after the half-term holidays at an established partner Primary School in Hertford.

- Classroom Team Direction: Guide, mentor, and collaborate with assigned room Teaching Assistants to maintain a focused, productive, and safe learning environment.
- Progress Tracking & Review: Apply formative assessment techniques to evaluate individual pupil milestones, pinpoint learning gaps, and celebrate academic achievements.
- Inclusion Collaboration: Liaise proactively with the SENCO, phase leaders, and senior leadership to deliver tailored interventions for pupils with SEND and EAL requirements.
- Home-School Dialogue & Handovers: Foster open, constructive communication with parents and carers for ongoing posts, or provide thorough handover notes at the end of each supply booking.
Candidate Profile
- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS): Mandatory. Open to experienced primary teachers as well as ambitious Early Career Teachers (ECTs) with prior UK classroom experience.
- Curriculum Command: In-depth understanding of primary curriculum standards, differentiated instructional techniques, and positive behaviour management strategies.
- Adaptability & Composure: A calm, patient, and approachable presence, comfortable maintaining pupil engagement whether leading an ongoing class or stepping into new environments on supply.
- Collaborative Spirit: A genuine dedication to working as part of a united staff team committed to safeguarding and student welfare.
- Compliance Checks: Holds an Enhanced Child Workforce DBS registered on the Update Service (or readiness to process a new check via Randstad).
