Full job descriptionWork That Fits Around You | Consistent Opportunities Across Local Primary Schools
If you’re a Key Stage 1 Teacher who wants more say in how and where you work, this is an opportunity worth your attention.
At Reed Education, we work closely with a wide network of primary schools across Wakefield, many of which we’ve supported for years. Because of that trust, we’re not just called when things are quiet - we’re called every single day. Schools rely on us, which means we’re consistently busy and able to offer our teachers something that genuinely matters: reliability and choice.
Whether you’re looking for a full-time role, a part-time schedule, or the flexibility of day-to-day supply, we can keep you working as much - or as little - as you want.
What Makes This Different?This isn’t just another supply advert.
We understand that teachers don’t just want "work available" - they want good schools, steady opportunities, and a consultant who actually listens. That’s exactly what we focus on.
Because of our strong reputation across Wakefield:
*Schools often come to us first, not last
*We’re trusted with both planned cover and last-minute bookings
*Many of our placements turn into long-term or permanent roles
*We’re continually welcoming new schools and trusts into our network
In simple terms, if you’re looking for consistent KS1 teaching work locally, you’ll find it here.
The RoleYou’ll be stepping into a range of Key Stage 1 classrooms, delivering lessons that keep pupils engaged, supported, and progressing.
Depending on what you’re looking for, this could involve:
*Short-term, day-to-day cover across different schools
*Longer-term placements where you can make a lasting impact
*Opportunities to build relationships with schools that suit your teaching style
Every placement is different, but the expectation is always the same: confident, capable teaching that makes a difference from the moment you walk into the classroom.
What We’re Looking ForWe’re keen to hear from teachers who:
*Hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
*Have experience working within UK primary schools
*Understand the KS1 curriculum and how to deliver it effectively
*Are adaptable, reliable, and comfortable working in new environments
*Take pride in creating a positive and structured classroom
What You’ll Get in Return*A steady flow of teaching opportunities across Wakefield
*The flexibility to choose full-time or part-time work
*Access to both daily supply and long-term roles
*A consultant who understands the local schools and what suits you
*Competitive rates of pay and straightforward processes
Why Teachers Stay With ReedMany of the teachers we work with don’t just complete one booking and move on - they stay with us. That’s because we focus on getting the match right, not just filling a gap.
You’ll be working with schools that value strong teaching, and with a team that works hard to keep you consistently placed.
