About this job

Primary Teacher - Wigan

Primary Teacher
Wigan & surrounding areas
Flexible, part-time & full-time opportunities

Love teaching, but not everything that comes with a permanent teaching post?

You don't have to leave the classroom altogether.

Premier Education is looking for experienced Primary Teachers across Wigan who still love working with children and teaching great lessons, but would like more flexibility and a better balance around work.

Perhaps you've stepped away from a permanent position after many years in the classroom. Maybe you've held additional responsibilities or leadership roles and now want to concentrate on the part of the job you actually enjoy - teaching.

Or perhaps you simply want the freedom to choose when and where you work.

We're looking for teachers with experience across EYFS, KS1 and/or KS2 for opportunities including:

Day-to-day supply
Regular work in the same local schools
PPA and planned cover
Part-time teaching
Short-term assignments
Longer-term roles for those who want themWe're particularly keen to hear from confident classroom practitioners who can walk into a school, quickly build relationships with pupils and provide a calm, purposeful learning environment.

Experience with areas such as phonics, early reading, SEND, behaviour management, assessment or subject leadership would be particularly valuable.

Who we're looking for

You'll need QTS and recent/relevant UK primary teaching experience, but we're not looking for one particular type of teacher.

You might be an experienced teacher who has recently left a permanent post, a former member of SLT wanting fewer responsibilities, a teacher returning after a career break, or simply someone ready for a change.

What matters is that you're a strong teacher who still has plenty to offer a school.

If you'd like to keep doing the job you trained for without committing to another permanent classroom position, I'd love to hear from you.

Apply today and Amy at Premier Education will contact you for an informal chat about the type of work you're looking for across Wigan.
