Primary | Islington, North London

£160 - £190 per day

Tradewind Recruitment is currently working with a large network of welcoming and high-performing primary schools across Islington who are looking for reliable and enthusiastic Daily Supply Teachers for ongoing work from September.

Whether you're looking for one day a week, a regular part-time schedule or full-time supply, we can match opportunities around your availability and preferences.

Daily supply teaching is ideal for teachers at every stage of their career, including ECTs. Many of our teachers enjoy the flexibility of supply while gaining experience across a variety of schools, maintaining a healthy work-life balance and securing consistent bookings.

Daily supply offers flexibility without stepping away from teaching. You decide:

• How many days you want to work
• Which year groups you prefer
• The areas you're happy to travel to
• The type of schools you'd like to work in

Supply teaching is a fantastic option if you:

• Want flexible work around family or personal commitments
• Are an ECT looking to build confidence and experience
• Are an experienced teacher seeking greater work-life balance
• Want more consistent work than you're receiving through your current agency

We offer day-to-day, short-term and block bookings, with opportunities to move into long-term or permanent roles if and when they suit you.

Tradewind is one of London's leading education recruitment agencies, working closely with a wide range of Good and Outstanding primary schools across Islington.
