Experienced Primary Supply Teacher - Central Manchester

£150 - £180 per day (depending on experience) | PAYE only

Flexible daily supply | Same-day bookings | Central Manchester and surrounding areas

Premier Education is looking for an experienced and adaptable Primary Teacher for regular daily supply work in and around central Manchester.

This opportunity is aimed at an established teacher who has completed their induction, held permanent teaching positions and gained experience across at least two primary key stages. It would particularly suit someone who has stepped away from a permanent post but still wants rewarding classroom work, professional variety and the flexibility to choose when they teach.

If you are confident accepting same-day bookings and walking into a new school ready to lead the class, we would love to hear from you.

Why this opportunity?

Daily supply gives you the freedom to continue doing what you do best - teaching. You will have greater control over your working week.

You can expect:

Daily pay of £150 - £180, depending on experience

Regular opportunities across central Manchester and nearby areas

Same-day and advance bookings

Flexibility around the days you wish to work

Experience across a range of welcoming primary schools

Roles matched to your preferred key stages wherever possible

A dedicated consultant who understands your experience

PAYE pay with no umbrella-company deductions

Opportunities to build lasting relationships with local schools

The potential to progress into repeat bookings or longer-term roles

Central locations offer convenient access by tram, train and bus, making these opportunities particularly suitable for teachers who prefer public transport or want to avoid a lengthy commute.

The role

As an experienced Primary Supply Teacher, you will provide reliable classroom cover across Early Years, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, depending on your experience and preferences.

Your responsibilities may include:

Delivering lessons and activities left by the class teacher

Creating a purposeful and positive learning environment

Adapting teaching to meet pupils' different needs

Managing behaviour confidently and consistently

Following the school's routines, policies and safeguarding procedures

Assessing pupils' understanding throughout the day

Providing a clear handover for the returning teacher

Working effectively with teaching assistants and support staff

Using your wider curriculum knowledge to maintain learning across subjects

Settling quickly into unfamiliar schools, classrooms and year groups

Your previous experience in permanent teaching and subject leadership will allow you to bring confidence, sound judgement and a strong understanding of whole-school expectations to every booking.

Requirements

We are looking for a teacher who:

Holds Qualified Teacher Status

Has successfully completed their statutory induction

Has taught across at least two primary key stages

Has substantial experience in permanent teaching positions

Has recent and relevant classroom experience

Has held subject leadership or curriculum responsibility

Has strong knowledge of the primary curriculum

Can manage behaviour effectively in unfamiliar classrooms

Is confident adapting to different school systems and expectations

Can provide an up-to-date CV covering their full employment history

Is available for regular daily supply work

Can accept same-day bookings when available

Can travel reliably to schools in and around central Manchester

This role is best suited to an experienced classroom practitioner. Applications based solely on short-term supply experience may not meet the requirements of our partner schools.

Apply

If you are an accomplished Primary Teacher looking for flexible supply work without stepping away from the classroom, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Click Apply and send your CV to Michaela at Premier Education today. Please include details of the key stages you have taught, your permanent teaching positions and any subject leadership responsibilities you have held.

Applications will be reviewed as they are received.

The successful applicant will be subject to an enhanced DBS check, satisfactory references and safer recruitment checks in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance.

Applicants must have the legal right to work in the UK. Unfortunately, sponsorship is not available for this role.
