Full job descriptionYour new company
Since the return to the new September term, demand for EYFS and KS1 teachers to provide regular supply cover on a day-to-day, short and long-term basis has increased. We are therefore looking for individuals comfortable teaching EYFS/KS1 to join the agency for supply work.
Schools are looking for reliable and highly motivated teachers that they can rely on to cover absent teachers or PPA Cover. This can be a great role for someone looking to gain experience in various schools to find the one that suits them or for an individual looking to just work on a part-time basis. We work exclusively with many of the schools in Wigan, so you won’t find these opportunities anywhere else.

Your new role
Day-to-day supply cover roles will see you covering pre-planned lessons for absent teachers or for PPA cover. In short or longer-term roles, then you will be expected to plan lessons based on pupil ability, so it’s important that you can come in and build relationships quickly with staff and pupils. Being a cover teacher is all about keeping your pupils engaged and making sure you are delivering these lessons in a fun and exciting way. There are many roles on offer at the moment with schools across Wigan and surrounding areas, so even if this doesn’t sound right for you, please contact us to discuss more.

What you’ll need to succeed
In order to be successful in securing this position, hold qualified teacher status (QTS) gained in the UK. You will need to be able to manage groups of children and be able to manage challenging behaviour. This could be a perfect role for an NQT/ECT that is looking to gain some experience working within the primary school environment.


What you’ll get in return
In return, you will be paid a competitive daily rate while gaining invaluable working experience. You will receive continued support from your experienced personal consultant who has forged strong relationships with local schools, along with free career development courses and free CV and interview advice.
