Job description

Primary School Teachers – Croydon & Surrounding Areas

Location: Croydon & Surrounding Areas
Pay: £170 – £250 per day PAYE
Roles Available: Daily Supply, Guaranteed Work, Long-Term & Permanent
Hours: Full-Time & Part-Time

Teaching Personnel are looking to speak with qualified Primary School Teachers who are looking for work across Croydon and the surrounding areas.

We work with a wide range of local primary schools and have opportunities available across EYFS, KS1 and KS2.

We're happy to work around what you're actually looking for.

You might want five days a week, a couple of days around other commitments, regular work within the same few schools, or your next long-term class teaching position.

Whatever you're looking for, we'd be happy to have a conversation and see what opportunities could work for you.

What opportunities are available?

We regularly recruit for:

  • Daily supply teaching

  • Short-term cover

  • Long-term class teaching positions

  • PPA and intervention cover

  • Part-time teaching roles

  • Full-time teaching positions

  • Temporary-to-permanent opportunities

Supply teaching also doesn't have to mean working somewhere completely different every day.

Many of the teachers we work with build relationships with a small number of local schools and return to them regularly, while others prefer the variety and flexibility of working across different settings.

Guaranteed Work Scheme (GWS)

If you like the flexibility of supply teaching but would prefer some additional security, you may also be interested in Teaching Personnel's Guaranteed Work Scheme (GWS).

For suitable teachers, GWS allows you to agree the days you're available to work and, subject to the terms of the scheme, Teaching Personnel guarantees work on those agreed days.

This can be a great middle ground for teachers who want the flexibility of supply without quite as much uncertainty around their weekly work.

We're more than happy to explain how GWS works and whether it could be suitable for you.

Who are we looking for?

We're keen to hear from:

  • Qualified Primary Teachers with UK QTS

  • Early Career Teachers (ECTs)

  • Experienced class teachers

  • Teachers returning to the classroom

  • Teachers looking to move from permanent teaching into supply

  • Teachers looking for a better work-life balance

  • Teachers interested in securing their next long-term position

Ideally, you'll be confident working within EYFS, KS1 and/or KS2, have good classroom and behaviour management skills and be able to quickly build positive relationships with pupils and staff.

Most importantly, we're looking for reliable and enthusiastic teachers who genuinely enjoy working with children.

Why work with Teaching Personnel?

Working with Teaching Personnel gives you access to:

  • £170 – £250 per day, depending on the role and experience

  • PAYE – no umbrella companies

  • Teaching Personnel's Guaranteed Work Scheme

  • Full-time and part-time opportunities

  • Flexible day-to-day supply

  • Long-term teaching positions

  • Opportunities across EYFS, KS1 and KS2

  • Regular work within local primary schools

  • CPD and training opportunities

  • Support from a dedicated Primary Education consultant

We'll take the time to understand your availability, preferred year groups, travel distance and what you're actually looking for from your next role.

Interested?

Whether you're actively searching for your next teaching position or you're simply interested in seeing what else is available, we'd be happy to speak with you.

Apply today and we'll be in touch to discuss what you're looking for and the opportunities we currently have available across Croydon and surrounding areas.
