• Location: Blackpool, Lytham St Annes, Fleetwood, Poulton-le-Fylde

• Job Type: Flexible (Daily Cover) or Full-Time (Long-Term)

Are you a primary educator looking for teaching work in Blackpool that fits your lifestyle for the new school year? Whether you want to enjoy a great work-life balance through flexible daily cover this Autumn, or aim to secure a long-term placement for the first term of the academic year, we have the perfect opportunity for you.

We offer two distinct ways to work, allowing you to choose the level of responsibility that fits your current needs:

• The Ultimate Work-Life Balance

• This is the ideal role for teachers seeking part-time work or those who want total control of their availability, choosing exactly which days they work each week throughout the Autumn term.

• The Role: Deliver pre-planned lessons provided by the school. When the bell rings, your day is done.

• The Benefits: No planning, no assessment, and no staff meetings. It is an excellent "stepping stone" to explore different school environments across the Fylde Coast without a long-term commitment.

• Requirements: High-quality lesson delivery, marking the day's work, and ensuring a tidy classroom reset.

• Secure Your Future for the Term

• September is the busiest time of the year for long-term block placements and maternity cover. Many of our teachers also use daily cover as a "working interview"-the exposure you gain from daily assignments this term is the most effective way to secure a permanent contract in the schools you enjoy most.

• The Role: Take full ownership of a class, including planning, assessment, and wider school contributions such as parents' evenings and staff meetings.

• The Benefits: Gain deep experience within a specific school community, often leading to internal contracts and permanent recruitment for January.

• Pay: Paid to the M-Scale (minimum £174.71 per day).

To be successful in these roles, you must meet the following criteria:

• Qualified Teacher Status: You must be a qualified primary teacher and able to provide proof of QTS (ECTs starting their career this September are highly welcome to apply).

• Proven Experience: You must have previous classroom teaching experience. This can be from teacher training (placements), prior permanent roles, or agency work.

• References: All experience must be fully reference able.

• Local Commute: Candidates should be comfortable with travel to schools up to 30 minutes away within the Fylde Coast area.
