Why Choose Academics?

At Academics, we don't just find you a role-we help you fall back in love with teaching.

• A core schools approach - so you're placed in familiar settings you enjoy
• Full-time support from a dedicated consultant who understands schools and children
• The chance to build real relationships with pupils and staff, even in a supply role
• Access to long-term, short-term, or permanent contracts that suit your lifestyle
• Immediate support if a placement isn't the right fit

Who We're Looking For:

• A qualified Year 5 Teacher (QTS required)
• Passionate about delivering engaging, inclusive lessons
• Someone who thrives on building rapport with students
• Confident managing classroom behaviour and expectations
• Flexible, committed, and ready to make a difference
