Every classroom is different. Every child has their own story. Every day is a chance to make a difference.
Whether you're introducing a new concept, calming first-day nerves or inspiring a child to believe in themselves, great teachers leave a lasting impression—even if they're only in the classroom for a day.
If you're a qualified Primary Teacher looking for flexible work across Leeds and the surrounding areas, Academic Appointments would love to hear from you.
We work with a wide range of welcoming primary schools, offering everything from day-to-day supply to longer-term placements. Whether you're looking for flexibility, variety or your next long-term opportunity, we'll help you find the right fit.
Your Role
As a Supply Teacher, you'll step into classrooms with confidence, creating positive learning experiences that keep children engaged and learning. From Early Years through to Key Stage 2, you'll play an important role in maintaining continuity, supporting pupil progress and helping schools thrive.
