Primary Supply Teacher

Want to teach without the full-time pressure?

If you love the classroom but could do without the late-night planning and weekend marking, supply teaching might just be your perfect match.

We're working with a brilliant mix of mainstream primary schools across Southwark and nearby boroughs, all looking for reliable, friendly teachers who can step in and make a difference, even if it's just for the day.

Whether you want one day a week or a full diary, we'll help you build a schedule that actually works for you.

What your days could look like:

• Walking into welcoming, well run schools where you're genuinely appreciated
• Teaching across EYFS, KS1 or KS2, depending on your preference
• No planning? No problem. Just bring your teaching magic
• Finishing your day knowing you've made an impact, without taking work home

What you'll get:

• Choose when and where you work, your week, your way
• Regular bookings in schools that suit your style
• Clear, early communication, no last minute surprises (unless you're into that)
• Friendly consultants who actually listen and get to know you

What we're looking for:

• UK QTS or equivalent teaching qualification
• Confidence in the classroom and strong behaviour management
• A flexible, can do attitude
• Someone who can hit the ground running and build rapport quickly
