Location: Barking & Dagenham, East London
Contract: Daily Supply
Start Date: September 2026
Pay: M1 - UPS3 daily rate

Fancy a teaching role where you have the freedom to work when it suits you?

We're looking for enthusiastic Primary Teachers to join our supply team across Barking & Dagenham from September 2026. Whether you're a newly qualified teacher keen to get your classroom career off to a flying start or an experienced teacher looking for a little more flexibility, daily supply can be a brilliant fit.

You'll have the chance to step into different schools, meet new pupils and experience a range of year groups and classroom settings. Best of all, planning is kept to a minimum, allowing you to concentrate on delivering great lessons and enjoying your time in the classroom.

For newer teachers, it's a fantastic way to discover what type of school and year group you enjoy most. For experienced teachers, it's an opportunity to keep teaching while having greater control over your schedule.

What Makes Daily Supply So Appealing?

• M1 - UPS3 daily rate, depending on experience

• Complete flexibility around your availability
• Minimal to no lesson planning for most assignments
• Opportunities to work across a variety of primary schools
• Exposure to different year groups and teaching environments
• A great way to broaden your classroom experience
• Ideal for ECTs and recently qualified teachers building confidence
• Perfect for experienced teachers seeking a more flexible routine
• Possibility of being offered longer-term or permanent positions
• Dedicated consultant support throughout your assignments

We’d Love to Hear From You If You

• Hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
• Have a genuine passion for primary education
• Can confidently adapt to different classrooms and school environments
• Have a good understanding of the Primary National Curriculum
• Can manage behaviour effectively and create a positive learning environment
• Are dependable, approachable and enthusiastic
• Are an ECT, recently qualified teacher or experienced educator
• Have an enhanced DBS or are happy to complete the required checks
• Have the right to work in the UK

Daily supply doesn't have to mean stepping back from teaching. It can actually give you the opportunity to experience more. You could spend one day in EYFS, another supporting a Year 4 class and then discover a fantastic Year 6 team later in the week.

It's a particularly useful option if you're looking to gain a broader understanding of different schools, build your professional network or simply enjoy teaching without taking on the planning and responsibilities that come with a permanent post.

If you're a QTS-qualified teacher looking for a fun, flexible and rewarding way to work from September, we'd love to hear from you.

Salary will be determined by the successful candidate's qualifications and relevant experience, and will be in accordance with the client's pay policy.
