We are looking for enthusiastic and adaptable Cover Teachers to provide day-to-day, short-term, and long-term cover across EYFS to KS2. This is a great opportunity for those who want to enjoy the variety of teaching in different settings without the full-time commitment of a permanent role.

You will benefit from flexible working hours, competitive weekly pay, regular work in well-regarded local schools, and the support of a dedicated consultant.

You may also have the opportunity to teach your preferred key stage or subject area.

To be considered for this role, you must have excellent knowledge of the UK primary curriculum, strong classroom management skills, and a genuine passion for supporting children's learning.
