Job description

Return to Primary Teaching After Maternity or Paternity Leave, Flexible Supply Across Brighton & Sussex. Work 1 to 5 Days a Week | Up to £130 Per Day | PAYE | Term-Time Around the School Run.

Coming back to teaching after parental leave and not ready for a full-time, 50-hour week? Sussex Teachers specialise in helping parents return to primary teaching on their own terms, with flexible supply work in local schools that fits around family life.

If you hold QTS and want to get back in the classroom without the full-time workload, we would like to hear from you.

Why This Works for Returning Teachers:

• Flexible Days: Work one to five days a week, you choose your schedule around childcare and the school run.
• Local Schools: Placements across Brighton, Hove and East & West Sussex, close to home and finished in time for pick-up.
• Straightforward PAYE: Paid weekly via PAYE with tax, NI and pension handled correctly, no umbrella companies and no hidden deductions. If you're returning part-way through a tax year, a good portion of your earnings may fall within your personal tax allowance, your consultant can talk you through it.
• Free CPD: TES EduCare courses including Safeguarding and Child Protection, so you're refreshed and up to date before you step back in.
• Supportive and Honest: One dedicated consultant, no hard sell, no unnecessary admin.

What You'll Do:

• Deliver planned lessons across EYFS, KS1 or KS2
• Manage your classroom confidently
• Support children's learning and wellbeing
• Mark work and leave clear feedback
• Go home on time, weekends are yours

Who We're Looking For:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
• UK primary classroom experience
• Reliable, adaptable and professional
• Based in or willing to travel around Brighton & Sussex

• Family-owned, independent supply agency established in 2007
• Local, trusted schools across Sussex
• PAYE only, NI, tax and pension handled correctly
• No finder's fees if a school offers you a permanent role
