Job Description

Are you looking for work life balance and an opportunity to pursue teaching flexibly? Tradewind are here to help!

Are you in a position where you want to consider teaching on a flexible basis and free up space for personal hobbies and family time? I work very closely with a number of teachers who have done exactly that!

We ask for a minimum of 2-3 days availability and on many occasions, provide bookings with advanced notice so you can research the school and plan the journey ahead of time! Our registration process is all completed remotely for ease and convenience and operates via an online portal/calendar where you can update when you can/cannot work.

We work with a number of diverse schools across all areas of Kirklees including Batley, Dewsbury, Heckmondwike and Cleckheaton and support our teachers in building relationships with schools local to them.

In return for your hard work, we offer:

  • Competitive rates of pay (up to £140 per day)
  • Efficient support and communication every step of the way!
  • An experienced consultant who is a former teacher and understands the roles and responsibilities that come with teaching
