Love teaching Year 5, where curiosity is high and personalities are even bigger?

This is the year where pupils really start to step up, thinking deeper, working more independently, and getting ready for that final stretch of primary school. If you enjoy that energy but want more control over your schedule, supply teaching could be just the move.

We’re working with a range of welcoming primary schools across BS15 where Year 5 classrooms are full of lively discussion, growing independence, and supportive teams who value great teaching.

What your week could look like:

  • Teaching engaged Year 5 classes who love a challenge

  • Delivering lessons that stretch thinking and spark curiosity

  • Supporting pupils as they build confidence ahead of Year 6

  • No long-term planning pressure, just great teaching and rewarding days

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Knows how to keep KS2 learners motivated and on track

  • Brings confidence, energy, and a calm classroom presence

  • Builds strong relationships quickly with pupils and staff

  • Is flexible, reliable, and ready to step into different settings

What you’ll get with us:

  • Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella hassle

  • Flexible working, you choose your days

  • FREE CPD, including Team Teach

  • Friendly, down-to-earth support from a team that gets it

  • Social events, think bowling and pizza nights

  • £50 refer-a-friend bonus, easy win

Supply teaching in Year 5 is about keeping that momentum going, helping pupils grow in confidence and ability, even if you’re only there for the day.

If that sounds like your kind of role, let’s get you in the classroom.
