PPA & Intervention Teacher
Outstanding Primary School | Ealing, Inner London
Full-Time | One-Year Fixed-Term Contract
Term Time Only
Inner London Pay Scale: M3 - M6 (£44,238 - £52,300)
September 2026 Start
Interviews Taking Place During the Second Week of September 2026
Are you an experienced Primary Teacher with UK Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) looking for a rewarding role that combines high-quality teaching, intervention leadership, and curriculum support?
An Outstanding primary school in the London Borough of Ealing is seeking an exceptional PPA & Intervention Teacher to join its dedicated team on a full-time, one-year fixed-term contract.
This highly regarded school has built a reputation for academic excellence, exceptional pastoral care, and a commitment to ensuring all pupils achieve their full potential. The school benefits from a strong leadership team, supportive parents, excellent behaviour throughout the school, and an ambitious curriculum designed to inspire a love of learning.
With a welcoming and collaborative staff culture, this is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced teacher seeking a varied role with significant impact across the primary phase.
The Role
This is not a traditional class teacher position.
The successful candidate will take on a key role within the school, providing high-quality PPA cover while leading targeted intervention programmes that help pupils make accelerated progress.
A significant proportion of the role will involve planning and delivering high-impact booster sessions in Year 5 and Year 6, particularly in English and Mathematics, ensuring pupils are well prepared for end-of-key-stage assessments and the transition to secondary education.
