Are you a qualified teacher looking for flexible, term-time work that fits around your life, not the other way round?

This friendly primary school regularly welcomes supply teachers and understands the value of flexibility. Whether you’re looking for one day a week or several, the school is happy to work around your availability and often requests the same teachers back once relationships are built.

With clear routines, supportive staff, and well-prepared lessons, this is a school where supply teachers feel confident and appreciated.

 

The Role:

Typical hours are 8:30 – 15:30, with flexibility on which days you work. A day in this role may include:

  • Delivering pre-planned lessons across KS1 or KS2

  • Maintaining calm, positive classroom behaviour

  • Supporting pupils with their learning throughout the day

  • Following clear school routines and expectations

  • Leaving concise handover notes for class teachers

What’s Already in Place:

  • Lesson plans and resources provided

  • Clear behaviour systems

  • Supportive SLT and staff team

  • Regular use of trusted supply teachers

Essential Requirements:

  • UK QTS

  • Confident classroom management

  • Flexible, reliable approach

  • Enhanced DBS on the update service (or willing to apply)

Benefits That Really Stand Out:

  • Choose the days you want to work

  • No planning or marking

  • Weekly pay

  • FREE CPD and safeguarding training

  • Strong potential for regular bookings

 

Why This Role Works So Well:

This is a great way to keep teaching without the full-time pressure, maintain work–life balance, and stay in the classroom on your terms. With the school regularly requesting the same supply teachers, there is genuine opportunity for consistent and longer-term work once relationships are established.
