Job description

ABOUT THE ROLE

Horizon Teachers is looking for qualified primary teachers for day-to-day and short-term supply work across Harrow and the surrounding North West London boroughs. We work with a wide range of primary schools — from one-form entry schools to large multi-form primaries — covering EYFS, KS1 and KS2. Whether you want full-time work every week or one or two days to fit around other commitments, we build the week around your availability.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

• Delivering pre-planned lessons across EYFS, KS1 or KS2.
• Maintaining the class teacher's routines, expectations and behaviour systems.
• Marking and feedback in line with the school's policy.
• Working alongside teaching assistants and support staff.
• Leaving a clear handover for the class teacher at the end of the day.
• Following the school's safeguarding and child protection procedures at all times.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) — essential.
• Experience of teaching or placements in a UK primary setting.
• Confident classroom and behaviour management.
• Adaptable, reliable and comfortable walking into a new setting.
• An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to apply for one.
• Two satisfactory references covering the last two years, and the right to work in the UK.

ECTs — THIS ONE'S FOR YOU TOO

We actively welcome Early Career Teachers. Supply is one of the fastest ways to build classroom hours, see how different schools run, and work out which year group and setting suits you before committing to a permanent post. Day-to-day supply does not count towards statutory induction, but placements of a term or longer can — we will flag those to you as they come up, and we are happy to put you forward for permanent ECT roles alongside your supply work.

WHAT WE OFFER

• £150 - £190 per day, PAYE, paid weekly.
• Work in Harrow and the surrounding boroughs — we keep travel sensible.
• Genuine flexibility: tell us your days and we work around them.
• A named consultant who knows the schools and briefs you properly before you go in.
• Free safeguarding training and ongoing CPD.
• A route into long-term and permanent roles with the schools you cover in.
• Transparent pay — you will always know your rate before you accept a booking.
