Are you a qualified Primary Teacher looking for flexible teaching work across Bradford this September?

We are recruiting KS1 Cover Teachers to join our growing supply team, supporting a large network of primary schools across Bradford and the surrounding areas.

  • Follow lesson plans and resources provided by the school

  • Create a positive, supportive and well-managed classroom environment

  • Adapt confidently to different schools, classes and routines

  • Support pupils' learning and development throughout the school day

  • Provide continuity and consistency while the class teacher is absent

What We're Looking For

We're keen to speak with teachers who:

  • Hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or an appropriate UK-recognised teaching qualification

  • Have experience teaching within KS1

  • Have strong classroom and behaviour management skills

  • Are enthusiastic, reliable and adaptable

  • Can quickly build positive relationships with pupils and school staff

  • Are passionate about providing a high standard of education, even when stepping into a class at short notice

ECTs and experienced teachers are both encouraged to apply.
