Primary Supply Teacher

Heart of Supply is welcoming passionate Primary Supply Teachers to join our growing team, supporting fantastic schools in Sleaford and the surrounding areas. We offer flexible roles across EYFS, KS1, and KS2, from day-to-day cover to short and longer-term placements, giving you the freedom to work in a way that suits you.

As a supply teacher, you’ll step into the classroom to deliver engaging lessons, follow prepared plans and provide a calm, structured learning environment in the absence of the usual class teacher. Your ability to build quick rapport, manage behaviour positively, and adapt with confidence will be key.

Whether you're delivering early phonics in Reception or supporting Year 6 through SATs prep, your energy, professionalism and consistency will make all the difference to the pupils you support.

At Heart of Supply, we’re proud to work with a variety of local schools across Sleaford and the surrounding areas, from nurturing primary classrooms to dynamic secondary environments, and specialist SEND provisions to inclusive academy trusts. Our partner schools are welcoming, well-resourced, and committed to creating positive spaces for both pupils and staff. Whether you’re looking to broaden your experience or find your perfect-fit setting, you’ll have the chance to step into a range of roles that suit your strengths, with our support every step of the way.

• 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

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.
