Job Description

Supply Teacher

We're recruiting experienced and early career supply teachers to work across a federation of primary schools in Dorking, Surrey. Whether you're building your career, returning to teaching, or seeking flexibility, this is an opportunity to work with well-resourced primary schools and develop your expertise across the full primary age range.

As a supply teacher in primary education, you'll deliver high-quality classroom teaching from Reception through to Year 6, working with experienced senior leadership teams and collaborative staffing models. You'll work with primary schools that value consistent, quality supply cover rather than one-off placements.

Your role as a primary supply teacher will include:

• Teaching whole class lessons across the full curriculum
• Delivering age-appropriate teaching from Reception through KS2
• Behaviour management and classroom organisation
• Safeguarding and pupil progress tracking
• Building professional relationships with primary school staff
• Adapting to different school policies and year group contexts

About you

You're a qualified primary teacher with broad experience who values consistency and professional support. You might be an established supply teacher, an early career teacher building your primary teaching portfolio, someone returning after a career break, or a teacher seeking greater flexibility. You bring:

• QTS qualification (or equivalent teaching qualification)
• Strong curriculum knowledge across the full primary age range
• Proven classroom management and safeguarding practice
• Reliability and professional communication
• Genuine flexibility across different year groups and primary school contexts

Your career

Working on supply across a primary federation allows you to build deep breadth. Teaching different year groups across EYFS through to KS2 means understanding progression and how learners develop across the primary phases. Many of our supply teachers move into permanent primary roles once they've identified the right school, or develop specialist expertise (SEND, early years, subject specialism) through their varied placements. You'll build a network with experienced primary heads and coordinators who recognise your strengths.

What we offer

• Regular placement opportunities with primary schools across the Dorking federation
• Competitive daily rates aligned to your experience and location
• Reliable, prompt payment
• Professional support and placement continuity
• Access to primary schools valuing quality supply cover
• Opportunities to move into permanent teaching roles where right
• Professional development and training opportunities
