Reception Teacher

We’re working with a vibrant, forward-thinking primary academy in BS10 that’s looking for a Reception Supply Teacher to step into their Early Years team. This is a school where curiosity is encouraged, individuality is celebrated, and every child is supported to grow in confidence from day one.

It’s a lively, inclusive setting with a real community feel, the kind of place where classrooms are full of energy, outdoor learning is embraced, and staff genuinely enjoy working together.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll be stepping into a well-supported EYFS environment, keeping learning consistent and engaging for their youngest learners:

• Delivering creative, play-based learning in line with the EYFS framework
• Supporting children’s early development, from communication to confidence
• Creating a warm, nurturing classroom where every child feels safe and seen
• Encouraging exploration through both indoor and outdoor learning
• Keeping routines running smoothly and behaviour positive

Why this school stands out

• A strong focus on inclusion and celebrating every child’s individuality
• A curriculum that blends structure with creativity and exploration
• Supportive leadership and a collaborative staff team
• A real emphasis on wellbeing, for both pupils and staff

What we’re looking for

• UK QTS (or equivalent)
• Experience within EYFS, ideally Reception
• A calm, nurturing approach with plenty of energy and creativity
• Confidence managing a busy, play-based classroom
• Someone who can quickly build relationships with little learners and staff alike

The good stuff

• £130 to £170 per day, or paid to scale if planning and marking is expected
• Flexible work to suit your schedule
• Opportunities to return to schools you love
• A supportive consultant who keeps things simple and stress-free
• Access to free CPD, including Thrive training to support emotional development in early years

If you love those lightbulb moments, the messy play, and the magic of Reception, this one’s worth a look.
