Daily Supply Primary Teachers

Daily Supply Primary Teachers

Borough of Camden

Tradewind Recruitment is currently recruiting primary teachers for daily supply work across the Borough of Camden. We work in close partnership with a number of mainstream primary schools who rely on us for high-quality, dependable supply teachers to cover short-term absences, training days and unexpected staff shortages.

This opportunity is ideal for teachers who want flexibility, teachers who are not getting consistent work through their current agency, or those who want to experience a range of schools before committing to something longer term.

Whether you are looking for one or two days a week or full-time daily supply, we can tailor work around your availability and preferences.

The Schools You Will Work In

Tradewind works with a broad range of primary schools across Camden and the surrounding boroughs.

Our partner schools typically include:

Good and Outstanding Ofsted-rated mainstream primary schools
1-form, 2-form and 3-form entry schools
Established leadership teams with clear expectations for supply staff
Consistent behaviour policies already embedded across the school
Schools that regularly use supply teachers and value continuity
Locations with excellent transport links, including the Northern Line, Jubilee Line, Metropolitan Line, Overground, Thameslink and local bus routesMany of our supply teachers return to the same schools regularly, allowing you to build familiarity and positive relationships rather than constantly moving between unfamiliar settings.

The Role

As a daily supply teacher, you will:

Provide day-to-day cover across EYFS, KS1 or KS2 (based on your preference)
Deliver pre-planned lessons left by the class teacher
Maintain classroom routines and behaviour expectations
Ensure pupils remain on task and engaged throughout the day
Provide brief handover feedback to the school at the end of the day
Represent Tradewind professionally within schoolsThere is no expectation of long-term planning, marking or meetings for daily supply roles.

Why Teachers Choose Daily Supply

Daily supply is increasingly popular with both ECTs and experienced teachers. It offers:

Complete control over your working week
A better work-life balance
Exposure to different schools and year groups
The chance to build confidence and experience
An opportunity to "try before you commit" to longer-term roles
A route back into teaching after a career breakMany of our teachers start on daily supply and later secure long-term or permanent roles through us once they find the right school fit.
