Are you an adaptable, qualified Primary Supply Teacher looking for flexible work where you can focus entirely on teaching without the burden of take-home work?

We are seeking reliable and enthusiastic teachers with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) to join our pool for daily and short-term cover needs within our supportive network of primary schools in Plymouth. This is the perfect opportunity to gain experience across different year groups while maintaining an excellent work-life balance.

The Role

The core focus of this position is to provide high-quality classroom cover across different key stages (EYFS, KS1, and KS2) on an ad-hoc, daily, or short-term basis.

You will be responsible for delivering lessons planned by the class teacher, managing the classroom effectively, and ensuring continuity of learning for all pupils.

Key Responsibilities

  • Deliver engaging, pre-prepared lesson plans to pupils across the primary phase.

  • Maintain a positive, safe learning environment and manage classroom behaviour effectively.

  • Adhere to individual school policies, safeguarding procedures, and marking guidelines.

  • Provide a brief, helpful handover note for the class teacher at the end of the day.

What We Offer

  • Competitive Pay: £130 - £160 per day, paid weekly.

  • Zero Planning & Prep: All lessons and resources are fully provided-allowing you to leave work at the school gates.

  • Ultimate Flexibility: Choose when and where you work to suit your personal schedule.

  • Variety & Community: Experience a range of welcoming staff environments and school cultures across Plymouth.

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for highly flexible, reliable, and professional educators who meet the following criteria:

  • Must hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

  • Recent experience teaching within a UK primary school setting.

  • Outstanding classroom and behaviour management skills.

  • An adaptable nature, with the ability to quickly establish rapport with new classes and staff.

  • A strong commitment to maintaining high standards of teaching and learning.

Please note: This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory professional references.
