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 Colchester who are looking for flexible Primary Teachers to cover across KS1 and KS2.

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
