Primary Teacher

Are you looking to teach without the commitment of a full‑time role, while still enjoying the variety and purpose of the classroom? Supply teaching could be the right fit.

We work with a wide range of primary schools across Sheffield, Barnsley, Chesterfield, Rotherham and Doncaster. These schools are seeking reliable, confident supply teachers who can step in at short notice and maintain continuity of learning.

Whether you are looking for occasional days, a regular weekly pattern, or something closer to full‑time, we take the time to match you with schools that suit your experience, preferences, and location.

• Flexibility to choose when and where you work
• Opportunities in local primary schools that value high‑quality supply staff
• A mix of daily, short‑term, and longer‑term placements
• Weekly PAYE pay, with no umbrella companies
• Free access to our online CPD Academy
• Ongoing support from a dedicated local consultant

• UK QTS or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification
• Confidence teaching across EYFS, KS1 or KS2
• A flexible, reliable, and professional approach
• Strong classroom management and adaptability

This opportunity is suitable for teachers who are new to supply, returning to the profession, or seeking greater flexibility to balance work with other commitments.

If you are not currently Thrive trained, we also offer free Thrive training
. This is highly valued by schools and supports effective practice around behaviour, emotional wellbeing, and inclusion.

If you are interested in a supply role that is well‑organised, supportive, and focused on matching you with the right schools, we would be pleased to speak with you.
