Pay: £120-£150 per day (depending on experience and role)
Start Date: As soon as you're ready, or from September 2025

We're beginning to work with a number of primary schools across West Cornwall who are looking for great teachers to join their teams. Whether you're after day-to-day supply, a longer-term role, part-time hours or full-time work - we'll help you find something that fits.

There's no one-size-fits-all here. You tell us what you're looking for, and we'll match you up with schools that suit your style, experience and schedule.

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) - including ECTs

  • Good behaviour management and a calm, confident presence in the classroom

  • A clear passion for teaching and supporting young learners

  • DBS on the Update Service (or happy to apply for one)

  • Someone dependable, professional and flexible

What you'll get:

  • £120-£150 per day, depending on the role and your experience

  • Flexible work across a mix of schools in the local area

  • A consultant who actually listens and works with you, not for the system

  • Honest advice, regular updates, and support with everything from paperwork to placements

  • Access to training and CPD if you want it
