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

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

Rather than being tied to one school, you'll have the opportunity to work across a variety of welcoming primary settings, covering planned and unplanned staff absences in Year 1 and Year 2.

Whether you're looking for regular work throughout the week, a couple of days to fit around other commitments, or the flexibility of day-to-day supply, we'd love to hear from you.

The Role

As a KS1 Cover Teacher, you will:

• Deliver engaging lessons to Year 1 and Year 2 pupils
• 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.

You'll benefit from:

• The chance to experience different schools before committing to a permanent role
• Regular opportunities throughout the academic year
