A High-Quality Job Share Opportunity in a Well-Respected Junior School

Zest Education is working in partnership with a highly regarded junior school in Hall Green to recruit an experienced and committed Year 5 Teacher for a job share position starting in September 2026.

This role offers a fantastic opportunity for an established teacher seeking greater work-life balance, while still playing a key role within a high-performing Key Stage 2 team.

The Role

As part of a structured Year 5 job share, you will work closely with an experienced colleague to deliver a consistent, engaging and well-paced curriculum.

This position is ideally suited to a teacher who:

• Values collaborative planning and shared best practice
• Can ensure continuity and high standards across the week
• Brings confidence, flexibility and strong classroom presence

While planning is provided, there is scope to adapt lessons to reflect your professional judgement and meet the needs of your pupils.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Established and well-organised job share arrangement
• Minimal planning workload with flexibility to personalise delivery
• Well-behaved, engaged pupils who respond positively to high expectations
• Supportive and experienced Senior Leadership Team
• Strong focus on staff wellbeing, workload balance and professional respect
• Opportunity to join a stable and collaborative KS2 team

About the School

• Positive learning environment and strong pupil outcomes
• Commitment to staff development and retention
• Inclusive ethos and supportive leadership
• Accessible location within easy reach of central Birmingham

• Holds Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
• Has solid experience teaching Key Stage 2 (Year 5 preferred)
• Is confident in maintaining consistency within a job share
• Demonstrates excellent classroom and behaviour management
• Is organised, reliable and committed to high standards
• Thrives in a collaborative and professional team environment
