About the role
We are really excited to be advertising opportunities for a Primary School Teacher to join Heart of Supply and work across our partner schools in Sleaford, Lincolnshire. This Primary School Teacher role suits those who enjoy flexibility, whether that is the variety of day to day supply, short term cover, or longer placements in EYFS, KS1 or KS2. As a Primary School Teacher with Heart of Supply, no two days look the same. You might step into a new classroom for the day with lessons ready to go, or offer consistency and familiar faces in a longer booking. The role involves supporting pupils to feel settled, confident and ready to learn, whether you are helping with early reading, leading core subjects, or guiding older pupils through the school day when their usual teacher is away. We would love to hear from Primary School Teachers who feel comfortable adapting to different schools and classroom environments.
About the schools
Heart of Supply partners with a wide range of welcoming primary schools across Lincolnshire. Our schools vary from local authority settings to academies, but they all have a shared approach when it comes to calm classrooms, supportive staff teams and a positive attitude towards supply cover. These are schools that value dependable teachers and make the effort to ensure supply staff feel included and comfortable, even when they are in for the day.
Because we take the time to build strong relationships with our partner schools, we are able to match teachers with settings that suit them. Some schools need occasional cover, while others rely on more regular support, and we help place teachers where they are likely to feel confident and settled. For teachers, this means working in organised schools that are focused on consistency for pupils and appreciate the role supply teachers play in keeping the school day running smoothly.
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
We’re fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults. All applicants will undergo thorough vetting, including enhanced DBS (with children’s barred list check and Update Service registration), references, and online checks as part of our compliance process.
What we offer you:
* Competitive weekly PAYE pay
* Roles tailored to your lifestyle - day-to-day or longer term
* Access to exclusive opportunities in great local schools
* A friendly, experienced consultant who listens
* Free CPD and ongoing professional development
* A simple ‘Refer a Friend’ scheme
* A warm, supportive agency that genuinely cares about you and your journey
