Primary Supply Teachers: Catholic Multi-Academy Trust (MAT)
Blackpool and Fylde Coast | March 2026 Start
Strategic Ad-hoc and Long-Term Roles: Build Your Path to September 2026
Are you looking for a career reset this March? We are currently seeking dedicated Primary Teachers to support a leading Catholic Multi-Academy Trust across the Blackpool and Fylde coast ranging from Kirkahm to Fleetwood.
With "Mad March" being our busiest period, this is the perfect time to get your foot in the door. By proving your impact now, you will be ideally positioned for permanent vacancies that arise following the May resignation deadline for September 2026 starts.
Choose Your Path: Daily Cover vs. Long-Term Teaching
We offer two distinct ways to work within the Trust, allowing you to choose the level of responsibility that fits your current lifestyle:
1. Daily Ad-hoc Cover (£120 - £150 per day)
Ideal for those seeking flexibility and a lower-stress "work-life" balance.
The Role: Deliver pre-planned lessons provided by the school.
Requirements: High-quality delivery, marking the day's work, and ensuring the classroom is reset and tidy before you leave.
The Benefit: No planning or staff meetings perfect for "stepping stones" into the Trust.
2. Long-Term Teaching Posts (£168.80+ per day)
For those ready to take ownership of a class and integrate into the school community.
The Role: Full teaching responsibilities, including planning, assessment, and wider school contributions (parents' evenings, staff meetings).
Pay: Paid to the M-Scale (starting from £168.80 per day, as stated by the school).
The Benefit: Direct experience that leads to permanent recruitment.
The Catholic Ethos & Your Career
As these schools sit within a Catholic MAT, all staff are expected to support and uphold the spiritual mission of the Trust.
Permanent Prospects: While not required for supply work, teachers who wish to transition into a permanent contract will be encouraged to obtain the Catholic Certificate in Religious Studies (CCRS). We can provide guidance on how to begin this qualification.
