Job Description

KS2 Daily Supply Teacher

Hackney

£160-£190 per day | PAYE | Flexible Day-to-Day Supply

Tradewind Recruitment is currently recruiting qualified KS2 Teachers for day-to-day supply teaching opportunities across the London Borough of Hackney.

We are working closely with a wide range of welcoming and well-established primary schools who regularly require reliable teachers to cover short-term staff absences, training days and unexpected vacancies.

This is an excellent opportunity for experienced teachers, ECTs or teachers returning to the classroom who are looking for flexibility without the commitment of a long-term placement.

Whether you're looking to work one day a week or are available throughout the week, we can offer supply work around your availability.

The Role

As a KS2 Supply Teacher, you will:

  • Deliver engaging, pre-planned lessons across KS2

  • Follow the school's existing curriculum and lesson plans

  • Maintain positive classroom behaviour and routines

  • Keep pupils engaged and on task throughout the school day

  • Adapt quickly to different school environments

  • Provide a brief handover to the class teacher at the end of the day

  • Represent Tradewind professionally within our partner schools

There is no expectation for you to complete long-term planning, marking or attend staff meetings when working on daily supply.

We work with a broad range of primary schools across Hackney, including schools in:

  • Hackney Central

  • Stoke Newington

  • Dalston

  • Homerton

  • Clapton

  • Haggerston

  • Victoria Park

  • Shoreditch

Our partner schools typically offer:

  • Good and Outstanding Ofsted ratings

  • Supportive leadership teams

  • Clear behaviour policies

  • Well-established classroom routines

  • Excellent transport links

  • Opportunities for repeat bookings

Many teachers who work with us on supply are offered regular bookings at schools where they have established a strong relationship with the staff and pupils.

Who We're Looking For

We are particularly interested in hearing from:

  • Qualified Primary Teachers with UK QTS

  • Experienced KS2 Teachers

  • ECTs looking to gain further classroom experience

  • Teachers returning to the classroom

  • Teachers looking for greater flexibility and work-life balance

You will need:

  • UK-recognised QTS

  • Recent UK primary teaching experience

  • Strong KS2 knowledge

  • Confident classroom and behaviour management

  • A professional, reliable and adaptable approach

  • Availability for at least 1 day per week

Why Work with Tradewind?

  • £160-£190 per day, paid through PAYE

  • No umbrella companies or unexpected deductions

  • Flexible work based around your availability

  • Access to a large network of Hackney primary schools

  • A dedicated education consultant

  • Regular opportunities for reliable teachers

  • Free CPD through our partnership with The National College

  • Support if you decide to move into a long-term or permanent position
