Secure Your Future in Kirkham, Warton, and Freckleton

  • Locations: Kirkham, Warton, and Freckleton (Primary Schools)

  • Start Date: September 2026

  • Daily Rate: £130 - £260 (Experience Dependent)

  • Contract Type: Flexible Supply / Short & Long-Term Contracts

Are you looking for a fresh start this academic year, but want to avoid rushing into the wrong permanent contract?

September is the most exciting month in the academic calendar, but it shouldn't mean compromising on your next career move. By joining our local primary supply pool for the new school year, you aren't just "covering" lessons, you are taking control of your career, building an enviable CV, and finding out exactly what type of school suits you best.

Why September Supply is the Ultimate Career Strategy

  • Supercharge Your CV: Want a CV that stands out? Adding diverse, high-impact experience across multiple schools demonstrates your adaptability, strong behaviour management, and rapid delivery of the curriculum.

  • The "Try Before You Buy" Freedom: Instead of locking yourself into a permanent role sight-unseen, use the autumn term to "test drive" different school cultures, demographics, and leadership styles across the FY4 and PR4 areas.

  • Unrivalled Exposure & Networking: Headteachers consistently prefer to hire "known faces." By showcasing your skills on supply, you put yourself at the absolute front of the queue for the inevitable long-term and permanent vacancies that pop up throughout the term.

  • Ultimate Work-Life Flexibility: Say goodbye to endless evening planning, data tracking, and weekend marking. Enjoy teaching again with a schedule that bends completely around your life.
