Year 6 Teacher – Full Time | Redditch | Jan 2026 Start
Looking for a fresh start? This could be the change you’ve been waiting for.
Zest Education is proud to be working with a vibrant 2-form entry junior school in Redditch, seeking a full-time Year 6 teacher to join their dedicated team from January 2026. Whether you’re an Early Career Teacher (ECT) ready to take your first steps or an experienced teacher looking for a new challenge in a supportive setting, this could be the perfect opportunity to reignite your passion for teaching.
Why This Role Could Be the Right Move:
This role isn’t just about teaching Year 6 – it’s about joining a school where collaboration, creativity, and wellbeing are truly valued. You’ll be working as part of a well-established Key Stage 2 team in a school that understands the importance of work-life balance, professional support, and shared planning.
The school offers:
A collaborative, 2-form entry structure where teamwork makes the workload manageable.
A positive and engaging learning environment where pupils enjoy coming to school.
Leadership that genuinely supports its staff – professionally and personally.
A culture that welcomes fresh ideas, humour, and a child-centred approach.
We’re seeking a teacher who:
Has a sound knowledge of the national curriculum, particularly in Upper Key Stage 2.
Can create engaging, inclusive lessons tailored to a range of learning needs.
Is compassionate, resilient, and ready to build positive relationships with pupils.
Has a good sense of humour and brings energy and warmth to the classroom.
Is confident working closely with a parallel Year 6 teacher to share planning and ideas.
Whether you’re seeking more professional support, better team dynamics, or simply a new environment where your contribution is truly valued, this position offers a chance to thrive.
If you’re ready for a new chapter in your teaching career and want to make a genuine impact within a friendly and forward-thinking school, we’d love to hear from you. To find out more, email Charlie at charlie@zesteducation.co.uk or ‘apply for job’ at the top of the page to submit your details.
