Year 6 Teacher

Location: Kings Heath, Birmingham
Contract: Full-time (Full Academic Year)
Start Date: September 2026

A Rewarding Upper KS2 Opportunity in a Well-Established Primary School

Zest Education is working in partnership with a welcoming one-form entry primary school in Kings Heath to recruit a committed and skilled Year 6 Teacher for a full-time position starting in September 2026.

This role offers an excellent opportunity for an experienced teacher – or a confident ECT – to teach in a supportive, well-organised environment, where collaboration, consistency and pupil success are key priorities.

The Role

As the Year 6 class teacher, you will take full responsibility for delivering a high-quality, engaging and structured curriculum, preparing pupils for their transition to secondary school.

You will benefit from a strong team approach, with:

• Shared planning across the KS2 team
• Consistent expectations and routines
• Support from experienced colleagues and leadership

This is an ideal role for someone who thrives on teamwork while still enjoying autonomy in the classroom.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Collaborative planning model, reducing workload and enhancing consistency
• Opportunity to teach a focused and rewarding Year 6 cohort
• Supportive and experienced Senior Leadership Team (SLT)
• Well-behaved, motivated pupils who respond well to clear expectations
• Strong emphasis on staff wellbeing and professional development
• Opportunity to make a measurable impact on pupil outcomes in a key year

About the School

This fantastic one-form entry primary school in Kings Heath is known for its:

• Close-knit, supportive staff team
• Strong community values and inclusive ethos
• Clear leadership and well-structured curriculum
• Positive learning environment where both pupils and staff can thrive

The school places a strong emphasis on collaboration, ensuring teachers feel supported and valued in their role.

Ideal Candidate

We are looking for a teacher who:

• Holds Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
• Has experience in Key Stage 2 (Year 6 experience desirable)
• Is confident in delivering lessons that prepare pupils for SATs and transition
• Demonstrates strong classroom and behaviour management
• Works well within a team-based planning structure
• Is committed, organised and passionate about pupil progress

Why Work with Zest Education?

Zest Education partners with schools across Birmingham to place talented teachers into roles where they can succeed. We offer:

• Ongoing, personalised support from experienced consultants
• Access to high-quality, long-term teaching opportunities
• Transparent and honest communication throughout
• A focus on finding the right fit for both teacher and school
