PPA Cover Teachers - Tameside
Flexible Roles | September Start | Work-Life Balance Focused

Are you a passionate and adaptable teacher looking for variety in your working week? We are currently seeking dedicated PPA Cover Teachers to work across a range of primary schools in Tameside, supporting school-wide curriculum delivery from Early Years through to Upper Key Stage 2.

These dynamic roles offer a refreshing change of pace - no two days are the same! You'll enjoy the opportunity to teach different year groups, deliver a broad range of curriculum content, and experience a variety of school environments. From small, family-feel schools to large multi-academy trusts, there is a setting to suit every teaching style and preference.

What's on Offer:

• Excellent work-life balance - with planning provided, you can focus purely on high-quality teaching.
• Opportunities to work across a range of schools and age groups.
• A chance to develop your teaching practice through exposure to a variety of classroom settings and curriculum topics.
• Immediate and flexible start dates available to suit your availability.

Here at Tradewind, we have strong established links with our Tameside schools. Our schools differ in nature from small single-form family feel schools to much larger establishments and schools that are part of multi-academy trusts.

Schools are looking for teachers who:

• Have a secure understanding of both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 curriculum content.
• Use adaptive teaching techniques to scaffold and stretch learning, supporting all pupils to reach their full potential.
• Tailor their approach based on the year group being taught and the specific needs of pupils.
• Confidently integrate modern classroom technology including interactive whiteboards, Chromebooks, and iPads to enhance learning.
• Uphold and follow the policies and values of each individual school.

Whether you're an experienced practitioner or an ECT with a passion for flexible teaching, we would welcome a conversation with you about covering classes in our wonderful Tameside schools. Not only will it enhance your CV by gaining school wide experience but the chance to work across diverse settings will be extremely beneficial in evaluating where you may see yourself long-term!
