Connex Education is recruiting enthusiastic and reliable Primary Supply Teachers to work across a range of academies and maintained primary schools in Bristol + North Somerset.

We are looking for adaptable educators who can step confidently into EYFS, KS1, and KS2 classrooms on a flexible supply basis. Whether you are seeking day-to-day work, regular part-time supply, or short-term placements, we can offer opportunities that fit around your availability and lifestyle.

Supply teaching is ideal for teachers who enjoy variety, want to broaden their experience across different school settings, or are looking for greater flexibility without the full planning and long-term workload of a permanent classroom role. You will support schools by covering teacher absence, delivering prepared lessons, maintaining routines, and ensuring pupils continue to learn in a positive and structured environment.

The Supply Teaching Role

• Provide day-to-day, short-term, and flexible cover across primary year groups
• Deliver prepared lessons and activities left by the class teacher
• Maintain positive classroom routines and behaviour expectations
• Adapt quickly to different school environments, year groups, and teaching styles
• Create a calm, inclusive, and engaging learning environment
• Provide brief feedback to school staff at the end of the day where required

Working on a supply basis gives you the freedom to choose when you work, while still making a meaningful impact in local classrooms. It can be a great option if you are returning to teaching, balancing other commitments, newly qualified and looking to build experience, or simply want to work across a wider range of schools before committing to a permanent role.

What We’re Looking For

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
• Experience teaching within UK primary schools or recent primary placement experience
• Confidence delivering lessons across EYFS, KS1, or KS2
• Strong classroom management and the ability to build rapport quickly
• A flexible, dependable, and proactive approach to supply teaching
• Passion for supporting children’s learning and wellbeing
• Strong understanding of safeguarding and child protection procedures

What Connex Education Offers

• Flexible supply work to suit your availability
• Competitive daily rates paid weekly through PAYE
• Opportunities to work across a variety of local primary schools
• Options for day-to-day supply, regular part-time work, and short-term placements
• Free access to our Classroom Teacher Toolkit skills development package comprising over 70 courses
• Wellbeing programme and refresher training for life in the 21st century classroom
• Interview guidance and support with CV writing
• Ongoing support from a dedicated local consultant
• GCA Approved Supplier
