Primary Supply Teacher - Blackpool & The Fylde Coast
Location: Blackpool, Lytham St Annes, Fleetwood, Poulton-le-Fylde
Job Type: Flexible (Daily Cover) or Full-Time (Long-Term)
Duration: Autumn Term (October 2026 - December 2026)
Salary: £140 - £174.71+ per day (Dependent on role)
Are you a primary educator looking for teaching work in Blackpool that fits your lifestyle for the new school year? Whether you want to enjoy a great work-life balance through flexible daily cover this Autumn, or aim to secure a long-term placement for the first term of the academic year, we have the perfect opportunity for you.
Choose Your Path: Flexibility vs. Career Progression
We offer two distinct ways to work, allowing you to choose the level of responsibility that fits your current needs:
1. Daily Ad-hoc Cover (£140 - £170 per day)
The Ultimate Work-Life Balance
This is the ideal role for teachers seeking part-time work or those who want total control of their availability, choosing exactly which days they work each week throughout the Autumn term.
The Role: Deliver pre-planned lessons provided by the school. When the bell rings, your day is done.
The Benefits: No planning, no assessment, and no staff meetings. It is an excellent "stepping stone" to explore different school environments across the Fylde Coast without a long-term commitment.
Requirements: High-quality lesson delivery, marking the day's work, and ensuring a tidy classroom reset.
2. Long-Term Teaching Contracts (£174.71+ per day)
Secure Your Future for the Term
September is the busiest time of the year for long-term block placements and maternity cover. Many of our teachers also use daily cover as a "working interview"-the exposure you gain from daily assignments this term is the most effective way to secure a permanent contract in the schools you enjoy most.
The Role: Take full ownership of a class, including planning, assessment, and wider school contributions such as parents' evenings and staff meetings.
The Benefits: Gain deep experience within a specific school community, often leading to internal contracts and permanent recruitment for January.
Pay: Paid to the M-Scale (minimum £174.71 per day).
Requirements
To be successful in these roles, you must meet the following criteria:
Qualified Teacher Status: You must be a qualified primary teacher and able to provide proof of QTS (ECTs starting their career this September are highly welcome to apply).
Proven Experience: You must have previous classroom teaching experience. This can be from teacher training (placements), prior permanent roles, or agency work.
References: All experience must be fully reference able.
Local Commute: Candidates should be comfortable with travel to schools up to 30 minutes away within the Fylde Coast area.
