Heart of Supply is currently seeking Primary School Teachers to work with our partner schools in Gainsborough and the surrounding areas. These flexible Primary School Teacher roles include day-to-day supply, short-term roles, and longer-term placements across EYFS, KS1, and KS2.

What you will need:

* QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) and recent experience in a UK primary setting

* A nurturing, flexible teaching approach with the ability to connect quickly with pupils across EYFS, KS1 or KS2

* Confident classroom presence with strong behaviour management rooted in positive reinforcement

* The ability to follow pre-set work while bringing your own creativity and energy to the classroom

* Clear communication, a proactive attitude, and the ability to build rapport with pupils and staff alike

* A minimum of 6 weeks’ teaching experience in the UK

What we offer you:

* Competitive weekly PAYE pay

* Roles tailored to your lifestyle, day-to-day or longer term
