Job description

Primary Early Career Teacher - Sheffield - September 2025 Start
£135 - £170 per day (PAYE only - no umbrella companies)
Supply or Long-Term Roles Available

Are you a Primary Early Career Teacher looking for the perfect way to kickstart your teaching journey in September 2025? Whether you want to dip your toes into a few different schools or settle into one long-term role, Academics is here to support you every step of the way.

We are recruiting passionate and motivated Primary Early Career Teachers to work in a variety of Sheffield Primary Schools from September 2025 to July 2026 - with guaranteed work options available to help you find your perfect fit.

Why choose supply as a Primary Early Career Teacher with Academics?
You're in the driving seat:

• Explore different school environments before committing to a permanent role
• Find the year group, leadership team, and ethos that suits you best
• Complete your ECT induction via long-term supply contracts
• We'll support you from day one - with career advice, interview prep, and classroom tips

The perks of working with Academics:
We believe in teachers first, paperwork second:

• £135 to £170 per day, paid PAYE - no umbrella deductions
• Long-term contracts available - and if it's not right, we'll move you
• Teaching without the stress of staff meetings, planning scrutiny, or Ofsted pressure
• Every Primary Early Career Teacher is paired with a dedicated ex-teacher consultant
• We match teachers to a small number of local schools - so you're not always "the new one"
• Build real connections with pupils, staff, and school communities
• We've helped countless teachers fall back in love with the job they trained to do

Common challenges teachers face - and how supply helps avoid them:

• Endless marking? Supply staff are rarely expected to mark beyond basics
• After-school meetings? Not your concern
• Overloaded planning? We'll help you manage expectations
• Pressure from SLT? You can focus on teaching, not politics

You can still complete your ECT terms!
Many Primary Early Career Teachers don't realise that supply teaching through long-term placements can count towards your induction - and we'll guide you through it.

Not sure where you'll be come September?
Even if you've accepted a September role, we can offer work between finishing your course and the summer holidays - so you can start earning straight away.
