Day-to-Day Primary Supply Teachers

Are you looking for a teaching role that fits around your life, rather than the other way around?

Tradewind Recruitment is currently seeking adaptable and enthusiastic Primary Teachers for day-to-day supply cover across our partner schools in Wigan and Leigh.

Whether you are looking for five days a week or just the occasional Tuesday, we have the local connections to keep you as busy as you want to be.

Why Choose Day-to-Day Supply?

Ultimate Flexibility: You manage your own diary. Work when and where you want.

Variety: Experience different school settings, from small village schools to large multi-form entry academies.

Reduced Workload: No planning, no parents' evenings, and no data tracking-just turn up, teach, and make an impact.

Try Before You Buy: Supply is a fantastic way to find your "perfect fit" school before committing to a long-term or permanent contract.

What We Are Looking For

We work with a diverse range of schools across the WN postcodes and need teachers who can:

Arrive with a positive attitude and a "ready to go" mindset.

Adapt Quickly: Move between EYFS, KS1, or KS2 with ease (though we will always try to stick to your preferred year groups!).

Manage Classrooms Effectively: Maintain high standards of behaviour and engagement using the school's existing policies.

Leave a Lasting Impression: Ensure the classroom is tidy and marking is completed.

Requirements

Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or an Early Career Teacher (ECT) looking for experience.

A valid Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or the willingness to apply for one).

Legal right to work in the UK

A reliable, professional approach to last-minute bookings.

Knowledge of the Primary National Curriculum.

The Tradewind Advantage

Top Rates of Pay: We offer competitive daily rates, paid weekly.

FREE CPD: Access more certified CPD courses than any other agency (over 2,500 courses!).

Local Knowledge: Your dedicated consultant lives and works in the area, meaning we understand the commute and the local school landscapes.

Referral Bonuses: Earn rewards for recommending your friends and colleagues.

If you're a Primary Teacher in Wigan or Leigh looking for a better work-life balance, we'd love to hear from you.

If you would like to register with Tradewind Recruitment, please apply now and take the next step in your teaching career! Or for more information about the role, contact Lindsey Pennington on (phone number removed) /
