What can a primary teacher expect in Ilkeston?

Primary roles in Ilkeston are often in separate infant and junior schools, such as Chaucer, Cotmanhay and Granby Junior, as well as all-through primaries such as Ladywood.

With Nottingham and Derby both close by, Ilkeston is a good base for primary teachers who want variety without a long commute.

Primary schools look for teachers who can teach systematic phonics and early reading, build fluent maths, and keep a calm, well-organised classroom. Supply teachers who can pick up a class quickly and follow the school's routines are always in demand.

Key Responsibilities

  • Plan and teach engaging lessons across the primary curriculum
  • Teach phonics, reading, writing and maths
  • Assess progress and adapt teaching to close gaps
  • Support pupils with SEND and English as an additional language
  • Work closely with teaching assistants, parents and the SENCO
  • Create a safe, positive and well-organised classroom

Who we're looking for

  • Qualified primary teachers (QTS or QTLS)
  • Early Career Teachers (ECTs) looking for their first post or induction placement
  • Experienced teachers returning to the profession or looking for flexible supply work
  • Overseas-trained teachers with the right to work in the UK
