Year 1/2 Teacher - Full-Time Long-Term Normanton (WF6) Start: 1st June 2026

Join Reed Education and take the next meaningful step in your teaching career.

Reed Education is partnering with a highly regarded and welcoming primary school in the Normanton area of Wakefield (WF6) to recruit an experienced and enthusiastic Year 1/2 Teacher for a full-time, long-term role starting on 1st June 2026.

This opportunity offers much more than the standard long-term placement. You will become an integral part of a supportive school community, taking ownership of a mixed Year 1/2 class and delivering high-quality teaching that makes a measurable impact on early learning and development. If you thrive on shaping strong foundations in phonics, literacy, and early numeracy, this role will allow you to do exactly that.

What Makes This Role Stand Out

• A warm, inclusive school community that values positivity, teamwork, and pupil-centred practice.
• A settled Year 1/2 class ready for a teacher who can provide consistency, creativity, and a high standard of teaching.
• A genuine long-term position where your planning, assessment, and classroom leadership will be fully utilised and appreciated.
• Reed Education's ongoing support, regular communication, and access to free professional development.

What We're Looking For

We are seeking a teacher who brings presence, passion, and proven experience within Key Stage 1.

You will need to demonstrate:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
• Strong experience teaching within KS1
• Confident phonics knowledge and delivery (Read Write Inc., Letters and Sounds, or similar)
• The ability to plan and teach engaging, well-structured lessons that support all learners
• Adaptability, commitment, and a proactive approach to classroom life
• A desire to build positive relationships with pupils, parents, and staff over the long term

Role Details

• Position: Year 1/2 Teacher
• Location: Normanton, Wakefield (WF6)
• Start Date: 1st June 2026
• Contract: Full-time, long-term
• Employer: Reed Education

Why Work with Reed Education?

• A dedicated consultant who supports your career every step of the way
• Competitive weekly pay and reliable communication
• Free CPD opportunities including safeguarding and behaviour training
• Strong partnerships with schools across West Yorkshire

How to Apply

If you are a KS1 teacher who is committed, enthusiastic, and ready to make a genuine difference in a long-term role, we would love to hear from you. This is an excellent opportunity to join a school where your expertise will be valued, your ideas welcomed, and your impact truly felt.
