Job description

We are recruiting enthusiastic, adaptable, and dedicated Primary Teachers for daily and long-term roles at a variety of wonderful primary schools, infant schools, and academies across

Cambridge and the surrounding areas.

Whether you are an experienced teacher looking to step back from the demands of a permanent classroom, or an Early Career Teacher (ECT) wanting to gain diverse experience across different school sectors, we can help you find your ideal balance.

Choose the Path that Suits Your Life:

Day-to-Day Supply: Take full control of your schedule. Manage your own diary and teach pre-planned lessons across different year groups without the burden of ongoing planning, marking, or parents' evenings. It is the ultimate way to enjoy teaching without the takeaway stress.

Long-Term Placements: Enjoy the stability of staying with one class for a term or a full academic year (covering maternity leave, long-term sickness, or interim positions). Get properly stuck into school life, deliver the curriculum, and become a valued part of a local teaching team.

What We Are Looking For:

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

Early Career Teachers (ECTs) and experienced teachers are equally welcome to apply.

A strong understanding of the Primary National Curriculum across Early Years (EYFS), Key Stage 1, or Key Stage 2.

Effective classroom management skills with a nurturing, positive approach to learning.

An adaptable mindset, ready to hit the ground running and fit quickly into different school communities.

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

What Is in it for You?

Excellent rates of pay, paid weekly and reflective of your experience and the assignment type (supply or long-term scale).

Complete transparency and a tailored service to match your specific availability and career goals.

A dedicated local consultant with expert knowledge of the Cambridge and Cambridgeshire education markets.

A brilliant opportunity to trial different local schools, which can often lead to permanent positions if that is your ultimate goal.

Ready to discover your next primary teaching opportunity?

Take control of your working week today.

We are strictly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All candidates will be required to undergo comprehensive vetting, reference checks, and an enhanced DBS disclosure.
