Whether you're an ECT or an experienced Primary Teacher, Ribbons & Reeves have a variety of exciting opportunities across EYFS, KS1 and KS2.

We work exclusively with schools requiring planned cover, meaning you'll be offered pre-arranged bookings rather than unpredictable day-to-day work. Assignments range from one-week absences to long-term maternity covers, sabbaticals and temporary-to-permanent positions, giving you the flexibility to choose work that suits your lifestyle while gaining valuable experience in excellent primary schools across Merton.

About the Primary Supply Teacher role:

• Pre-booked short-term and long-term teaching assignments
• Opportunities across EYFS, KS1 and KS2
• Long-term maternity, sabbatical and sickness cover available
• Temp-to-perm opportunities with the chance to secure a permanent teaching role
• Competitive weekly PAYE pay
• Paid in line with AWR (Agency Workers' Regulations) where applicable
• No umbrella companies
• Dedicated consultant providing ongoing support throughout your placement

What we're looking for:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
• ECTs and experienced Primary Teachers welcome to apply
• Excellent classroom and behaviour management skills
• Confident, adaptable teachers who can hit the ground running
• Strong communication and organisational skills
• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one
• A genuine passion for delivering high-quality teaching and ensuring continuity of learning for pupils

We're looking for adaptable, reliable teachers who can quickly establish positive relationships, deliver engaging lessons and confidently step into a new classroom from day one. As schools often require teachers at short notice, strong communication skills and a flexible approach are essential.
