Start Date: September 2026
Pay: M1 - UPS3 daily rate, depending on experience

Looking for a more flexible way to enjoy teaching?

We're currently looking for enthusiastic Primary Supply Teachers to work across schools in the Castle Point area from September 2026.

Daily supply is a fantastic option for teachers who want to remain in the classroom while having greater control over their working week. Instead of being tied to one class or school, you'll have the opportunity to experience different settings, meet new pupils and work across a variety of year groups.

With daily supply, planning and preparation are often kept to a minimum, allowing you to focus your energy on teaching and making a positive impact in the classroom. It's also a great way to discover different school environments and build valuable experience.

Why Choose Daily Supply?

• M1 - UPS3 daily rate, depending on experience
• Freedom to accept work around your availability
• Minimal planning and preparation on daily assignments
• Opportunities to work across a range of primary schools
• Experience different year groups and teaching environments
• Build your professional network within local schools
• Excellent option for teachers wanting a better work-life balance
• Potential opportunities for longer-term and permanent positions
• Dedicated consultant support throughout your assignments

The Teacher We're Looking For

• Holds Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
• Has a strong understanding of the Primary National Curriculum
• Can confidently adapt to different classroom environments
• Has effective behaviour management skills
• Builds positive relationships quickly with pupils and staff
• Is reliable, approachable and enthusiastic
• Holds an enhanced DBS or is willing to complete the necessary checks

A Great Opportunity for Experienced & Newer Teachers

Supply teaching can be a particularly valuable way to broaden your experience. If you're recently qualified, it gives you the chance to see how different schools operate, gain confidence across various year groups and discover the type of setting that suits you.

For experienced teachers, it offers a chance to continue doing what you love while stepping away from some of the additional responsibilities that come with a permanent classroom position.

If you're a QTS-qualified Primary Teacher looking for flexibility from September, we'd love to hear from you. Whether you're looking for a few days a week or simply want to keep your options open, there are opportunities available across Castle Point.

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