Primary Teacher

Heart of Supply is looking for enthusiastic Primary School Teachers to join our network of partner schools across Sleaford. We offer flexible opportunities including day-to-day supply, short-term assignments, and longer-term placements within EYFS, KS1, and KS2. In these roles, you’ll step into a range of school settings, deliver engaging lessons using prepared plans, and help maintain a positive and consistent learning experience when the usual class teacher is absent.

We’re keen to hear from confident and adaptable teachers who can quickly connect with pupils and staff, manage behaviour calmly, and bring warmth and energy into the classroom. Successful applicants will be reliable, proactive, and comfortable working in new environments, whether that means supporting early phonics in Reception or guiding a Year 6 class through revision.

At Heart of Supply, we work closely with a wide range of welcoming primary schools across Sleaford and the surrounding areas. Our partner schools include local authority schools and academy settings that are well-supported, well-resourced, and focused on creating positive learning environments where children can flourish. We take pride in working with schools that value their staff and provide a friendly, supportive atmosphere for visiting educators.

By building strong relationships with our partner schools, we are able to carefully match primary educators with settings that suit their skills, experience, and preferences. Whether a school needs short-term cover or longer-term support, we help ensure continuity and quality in the classroom. For schools, this means access to dedicated professionals who are ready to make a meaningful impact, and for educators, the opportunity to gain valuable experience while supporting primary pupils across Lincolnshire.

• 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.
