Reception & KS1 Teacher

We work closely with warm, welcoming primary schools across Bristol who are looking for confident, nurturing EYFS and KS1 supply teachers. Teachers who can step in, keep little ones feeling safe and settled, and make sure learning continues in a calm, happy way.

Our schools value teachers who understand just how important those early years are. Strong relationships, clear routines and playful, purposeful learning sit at the heart of every day. You’ll be supporting early phonics, number foundations, communication skills and social development, all while creating a classroom full of curiosity and confidence.

You’ll mainly be teaching in Reception and Key Stage 1, with roles matched to your experience and preferences. These are schools that appreciate good supply staff and welcome you as part of the team from day one.

Pay & benefits:

• Daily rates from £130 to £150, paid weekly via PAYE. No deductions, no surprises

• Teaching without the Sunday night stress. No endless planning or unnecessary meetings, just lovely children, supportive staff and flexibility that works for you

What you can expect:

• Friendly, supportive EYFS and KS1 settings across Bristol

• Flexibility to choose the days and locations that suit your routine

• Clear handovers and well-structured days, especially important in Reception and KS1

• Opportunities to work across nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2

• Hold QTS or an equivalent teaching qualification

• Have recent UK experience in EYFS or KS1

• Can quickly build rapport and create a calm, reassuring learning environment

• Feel confident with phonics, early maths and play-based learning

• Want flexibility without stepping away from the classroom
