Job description

KS2 Primary Supply Teachers - Haverhill & Surrounding Areas

Are you an inspirational Key Stage 2 Teacher looking for a teaching role that works around your life, rather than the other way around? Whether you are seeking the ultimate control and variety of day-to-day supply cover, or you prefer the rewarding consistency of a long-term classroom placement, we have exceptional opportunities tailored exactly to your schedule.

We are currently partnering with an established portfolio of excellent primary schools, junior schools, and academies in Haverhill and across the surrounding Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, and Essex borders. We are experiencing a high demand for adaptable, passionate educators who excel at delivering the KS2 curriculum and guiding older primary students through these critical academic years.

Whether you are an experienced upper-primary specialist looking to step away from the administrative pressures of full-time classroom leadership, or an Early Career Teacher (ECT) eager to build confidence across Years 3 to 6, we can help you find your perfect balance.

Choose Your Ideal Way of Working:

• Day-to-Day Cover: Take complete control of your schedule. Choose exactly which days you want to work to perfectly fit around your personal commitments, studies, or lifestyle. It is a fantastic way to experience different school settings.

• Long-Term Opportunities: If you prefer stability, we have fixed-term KS2 roles spanning a term or a full academic year (covering maternity, sickness, or interim gaps). This is the perfect way to truly embed yourself within a local school team, lead a specific year group, and see your students progress.

Key Responsibilities:

• Deliver vibrant, age-appropriate lessons that bring the Key Stage 2 National Curriculum to life across Years 3 through 6.

• Foster a positive, structured learning environment that encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and independence.

• Support pupils through key milestones, including upper KS2 SATs preparation and secondary transition schemes where applicable.

• Differentiate learning tasks effectively to challenge high achievers while supporting students requiring additional intervention.

• For long-term roles: manage ongoing assessment, track pupil progress, and build collaborative relationships with parents and colleagues.

What We Look For:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or a recognised equivalent qualification.

• Strong working knowledge of the Key Stage 2 National Curriculum (experience with SATs preparation is highly advantageous but not essential).

• Confident classroom management skills and the ability to keep junior learners engaged, motivated, and focused.

• An adaptable, proactive approach, ready to hit the ground running in new school environments.

• A valid Enhanced DBS check on the Update Service (or a willingness to complete one).

Benefits of Working With Us:

• Competitive rates of pay, processed weekly and reflective of your experience level.

• A dedicated local consultant with deep knowledge of the Haverhill, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire primary education sectors.

• A completely transparent service that works strictly around your personal availability.

• The chance to explore different local schools, which frequently opens doors to permanent positions if that is your ultimate goal.
