Are you considering a future career in teaching, or do you have a passion for supporting young people to achieve their best? Do you have the confidence, presence and positivity to lead a classroom - even if you don't yet hold Qualified Teacher Status? If so, Tradewind Recruitment would love to hear from you.

We are currently seeking enthusiastic, adaptable and reliable Unqualified Teachers to provide supply cover across our partner primary and secondary schools in Northampton and the surrounding areas. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals exploring a career in education, recent graduates looking for hands-on classroom experience, or skilled school support staff ready to take the next step.

In this role, you will supervise classes during teacher absence, deliver pre-prepared lessons, maintain positive behaviour, and ensure pupils remain on task and engaged.

What we offer:

  • Competitive daily pay rates

  • Flexible work to suit your schedule - choose the days you're available

  • Opportunities for short-term, long-term and day-to-day assignments

  • A chance to gain valuable classroom experience before pursuing teacher training

What we're looking for:

  • Confidence working with young people

  • Strong communication and behaviour-management skills

  • A positive, professional and proactive attitude

  • Availability during school hours (08:30-15:30)

  • Willingness to undergo an enhanced DBS check
