Primary Supply Teacher

Fancy teaching without the never-ending to-do list?

Supply with Protocol Education means no late-night planning marathons, no endless meetings, and no Sunday scaries. Just great schools, lovely classes, and the freedom to choose when you work.

Whether you want one day a week or you’re filling the diary, we’ll keep things simple, clear, and booked in advance wherever possible. No chasing confirmations. No 7am panic calls, unless you’re feeling spontaneous.

Let’s make teaching feel good again.

Why supply with Protocol just works:

☕ Total flexibility – Pick your days. Work around childcare, travel, or just life.
Variety without chaos – Different schools, new faces, fresh energy.
Short-term or longer blocks – Stay a day or settle in for a term.
A consultant who actually listens – Quick answers, honest chats, proper support.

What you’ll be doing:

Delivering engaging lessons that keep primary pupils curious and confident
Creating a calm, positive classroom vibe, even when you’re new to the room
Stepping in seamlessly when teachers are away, keeping learning on track
Building great relationships with staff and students alike

You walk in as “the supply teacher”. You leave as “the one we hope comes back”.

What we’re looking for:

✔ Qualified Primary Teachers with UK QTS
✔ Confident classroom presence and strong behaviour management
✔ Adaptable, upbeat, and ready to hit the ground running
✔ Someone who enjoys variety and thrives in new settings
