Are you a qualified Primary Teacher looking for flexible cover work across Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2?

Do you want the freedom to choose the days you work while gaining experience across a range of primary school settings?

Do you enjoy stepping into different classrooms and delivering high-quality teaching with confidence?

I’m Dan, and I’ve been working closely with primary schools for the past two years, supporting them with their recruitment needs. I’m currently working with a number of schools in Chelmsford who are looking for flexible Primary Teachers to cover across KS1 and KS2. This role is ideal for teachers seeking day-to-day, short-term, or ongoing cover, depending on availability.

The successful Primary Teacher will have:

Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)

Experience teaching across KS1 and/or KS2

Strong classroom and behaviour management skills

Confidence adapting to new classrooms and routines

A flexible, reliable, and professional approach

An enhanced DBS on the update service, or willingness to apply for one

Flexible work to suit your availability

A dedicated team of consultants available 24/7

Access to our Guaranteed Payment Scheme (T&Cs apply)

CPD courses and certificates through the My-Progression channel
