Academics are a leading national education agency that specialises in the recruitment of temporary supply teachers.

We are currently looking for enthusiastic Nursery Teachers for short and long term roles within our client primary schools. Working in our schools across Stoke-on-Trent & Newcastle-under-Lyme can be diversified, meaning that we work with an assortment of primary schools and that we do have different requirements to suit.

For teachers who are seeking flexible ad-hoc work, supply is the perfect solution! Even for those teachers who are perhaps looking for a smooth transition back into a long-term role, or an Early Career Teacher (ECT) who is looking to be introduced to prospective schools; you will ultimately have the opportunity to get into the classroom!

What can Academics offer a Nursery Class Teacher:

• Large partnership and client base of primary schools in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, and Cheshire.
• CPD opportunities.
• Help build your reputation for future employers.
• Daily, short, & long term placements.
• Competitive pay rates (PAYE).
• Your own dedicated consultant to offer advice and guidance, and to help you with your career.

Please be aware that your daily rate will be dependent upon experience, prior qualifications, training, and the client rate that is currently available.

The ideal applicant must have:

• UK Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
• Strong knowledge of the national EYFS curriculum.
• Paediatric First Aid (or to be willing to work towards).
• A flexible, positive, and professional approach.
• The ability to quickly build rapport with learners and staff.
• Strong classroom & behaviour management skills.

We are an agency that are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all of our staff to share this commitment.

Salary will be determined by the successful candidate's qualifications and relevant experience, and will be in accordance with the client's pay policy.
