Job Description:

Primary Supply Teacher - Blackpool & The Fylde Coast

• Location: Blackpool, Lytham St Annes, Fleetwood, Poulton-le-Fylde
• Job Type: Flexible (Daily Cover) or Full-Time (Long-Term)
• Salary: £120 - £168.80+ per day (Dependent on role)

Are you an educator looking for teaching work in Blackpool that fits your lifestyle? Whether you are looking for a work-life balance through part-time daily cover or aiming to secure a permanent teaching contract, we have the perfect opportunity for you.

Choose Your Path: Flexibility vs. Career Progression

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

1. Daily Ad-hoc Cover (£120 - £150 per day)

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 when they work each week.

• 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 without a long-term commitment.
• Requirements: High-quality lesson delivery, marking the day's work, and ensuring a tidy classroom reset.

2. Long-Term Teaching & Permanent Contracts (£168.80+ per day)

Secure Your Future

Many of our teachers use daily cover as a "working interview." The exposure you gain from daily assignments is the most effective way to secure long-term placements or permanent contracts 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.
• Pay: Paid to the M-Scale (minimum £168.80 per day).
