Are you a Primary Teacher who loves Year 3 and 4, but craves a better work life balance?
We’re looking for passionate KS2 teachers to step into flexible Supply and PPA roles across local schools, giving you the chance to teach bright, curious Year 3 and 4 classes without the weight of full-time class responsibilities.
No endless planning.
No late-night marking marathons.
No parent meetings taking over your evenings.
Just great teaching, engaged learners, and the freedom to choose when and where you work.
Year 3 and 4 are such pivotal years. Confidence is growing, independence is blooming, and the curriculum really comes alive. If you enjoy guiding children through that transition into deeper learning, while still keeping lessons creative and fun, this could be the perfect fit.
Whether you’re looking for three days a week, ad hoc supply, or regular PPA cover, we’ll work around you.
Because loving teaching shouldn’t mean sacrificing your balance.
