Are you a qualified Primary Teacher looking for flexible work close to home?

Whether you're an experienced teacher, newly qualified, returning to the classroom, or simply looking for a better work-life balance, we're looking to recruit reliable and enthusiastic Supply Teachers to work in primary schools across Sutton and Merton.

We partner with a wide network of welcoming local schools, meaning we can offer regular work in the areas that suit you best. Rather than travelling across London, you'll have the opportunity to work within your local community, building relationships with schools that value your support.

The Role

As a Supply Teacher, you'll deliver pre-planned lessons across EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, ensuring pupils continue to receive engaging, high-quality learning in the absence of their class teacher.

Roles range from day-to-day cover to short-term placements, giving you the flexibility to choose a working pattern that suits your lifestyle. Whether you're looking to work one day a week or five, we'll work with you to find the right opportunities.

Your responsibilities may include:

• Delivering pre-prepared lessons across a variety of year groups.
• Creating a positive and engaging learning environment.
• Managing classroom behaviour effectively and maintaining high expectations.
• Following school policies and safeguarding procedures.
• Providing clear handover notes at the end of the day.
• Building positive relationships with pupils and school staff.

No planning or marking is required for the majority of our daily supply bookings, allowing you to focus on what you do best—teaching.

Why Choose Supply Teaching?

Supply teaching offers the flexibility to enjoy teaching without the additional workload often associated with a permanent class teacher role. It's ideal if you're looking to achieve a better work-life balance, gain experience in a variety of schools, or simply want the freedom to choose when and where you work.

Many of our teachers enjoy the opportunity to experience different school environments while building strong relationships with local schools, often leading to regular bookings and longer-term opportunities.

What We're Looking For

To be considered, you'll need:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
• Recent experience teaching within UK primary schools.
• Strong classroom and behaviour management skills.
• A flexible, positive and professional approach.
• A genuine passion for teaching and supporting children's learning.

Whether you're an experienced Supply Teacher or looking to move into supply for the first time, we'd love to hear from you.

Why Work With Us?

• Market-leading daily rates of pay.
• Flexible work to fit around your availability.
• Local placements across Sutton and Merton, reducing travel time.
• Access to a wide network of friendly and supportive primary schools.
• Opportunities for daily supply, short-term cover and long-term placements.
• A dedicated consultant who takes the time to understand what you're looking for and matches you with schools that suit your preferences.
