Primary Early Career Teacher

Are you qualifying this summer and considering your options? Teaching on supply is a wonderful way to explore different opportunities, working with children across EYFS, KS1 and KS2 through day-to-day, short-term and long-term placements, often leading to contracted positions.

Heart of Supply is excited to be recruiting Primary Early Career Teachers who are keen to gain experience across a range of welcoming schools in Lincoln and the surrounding areas. This is a fantastic opportunity to build confidence, develop your classroom skills and find your feet through flexible work. You will step into different classrooms, follow clear lesson plans already in place and help keep learning calm, engaging and enjoyable.

We are looking for Early Career Teachers who are approachable, adaptable and ready to get stuck in from day one. You will enjoy meeting new pupils and staff, manage behaviour with a positive approach, and bring warmth and enthusiasm into the school day. This role offers variety, valuable experience and the chance to make a real difference.

At Heart of Supply, we partner with a broad mix of friendly and supportive primary schools across Lincolnshire. These include both local authority and academy settings, all of which are focused on providing a positive day-to-day experience for pupils and staff alike. The schools we work with are well organised, well-resourced and keen to welcome visiting teachers who can step in confidently and feel part of the team from the moment they arrive.

• 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.
