Job description

Primary Supply Teacher - Thetford & Surrounding Areas

Are you an enthusiastic primary teacher seeking a role that offers true flexibility without compromising your passion for teaching? Whether you are looking for the total freedom and fresh variety of day-to-day cover, or you prefer the rewarding stability and continuity of a long-term classroom placement, we have fantastic opportunities tailored directly to your schedule.

We are currently partnering with a welcoming portfolio of primary schools, infant schools, and academies

in Thetford and across the surrounding Breckland and South Norfolk areas. We are experiencing high demand for adaptable, passionate educators who can step into EYFS, Key Stage 1, or Key Stage 2 classrooms and deliver vibrant, high-quality learning experiences.

Whether you are an experienced teacher looking to step away from full-time classroom responsibilities, or an Early Career Teacher (ECT) eager to build confidence across different school environments, we can help you find your ideal balance.

Choose Your Ideal Way of Working:

Day-to-Day Cover: Enjoy total control over your working week. Simply choose the specific days you wish to teach to fit seamlessly around your personal schedule, family commitments, or lifestyle. It is a fantastic way to explore a range of local primary settings, teach diverse age groups, and experience real classroom variety on your own terms.

Long-Term Opportunities: If you prefer stability, we offer fixed-term placements spanning a term or a full academic year (covering maternity, sickness, or interim gaps). This is the perfect way to truly embed yourself within a school community, lead a specific class, and see your pupils progress over time.

Key Responsibilities:

Deliver engaging, well-structured lessons aligned with the Primary National Curriculum or EYFS framework across your preferred age groups.

Create a positive, safe, and inclusive learning environment where pupils feel supported and motivated to achieve.

Differentiate learning tasks effectively to challenge high achievers while supporting children who need extra help.

Maintain strong classroom management and implement school behaviour policies consistently.

For long-term roles: take ownership of lesson planning, ongoing assessment, tracking pupil progress, and communicating with parents.

What We Look For:

Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or a recognised equivalent teaching qualification.

Solid knowledge of the Primary National Curriculum or EYFS framework.

Confident classroom management skills and an approachable, encouraging teaching style.

An adaptable, proactive mindset, ready to hit the ground running in different school environments.

A valid Enhanced DBS check registered on the Update Service (or a willingness to complete one).

Benefits of Working With Us:

Competitive rates of pay, processed weekly and reflective of your experience level.

A dedicated local consultant with deep knowledge of the primary education sector in

Thetford, Breckland, and Norfolk.

A completely transparent service that works strictly around your declared availability.

The opportunity to explore local schools, which frequently opens doors to direct, permanent positions.
