About the role

Heart of Supply is growing in Newark and the surrounding area, and we're looking for amazing Primary Teachers to join us.

Whether you're an Early Career Teacher (ECT) looking to build your classroom experience, an experienced teacher wanting more flexibility, or simply ready for a change, we'd love to hear from you.

We're recruiting for Primary Supply Teachers in Newark, with opportunities across EYFS, KS1 and KS2, from flexible day-to-day supply and short-term cover to longer-term teaching roles.

And being based in Newark opens up even more possibilities. Alongside schools in Newark and the surrounding villages, we work with a growing network of primary schools across Lincolnshire, with Lincoln and Grantham both within easy reach – giving you the option to access an even wider range of opportunities if you're happy to travel.

We're looking for confident, reliable and adaptable Primary Teachers who enjoy getting to know different schools, quickly building positive relationships and making an impact in the classroom – whether you're there for a day, a week or much longer.

About the schools

We work with primary schools across Newark, Nottinghamshire and the surrounding Lincolnshire area, supporting them with day-to-day absence, planned cover and longer-term staffing requirements.

Every school is different, so we take the time to get to know what you're looking for too. Whether you love EYFS, feel most at home in KS1, are an experienced KS2 Teacher or are happy working across the primary age range, we'll aim to introduce you to schools you'll enjoy teaching in.

What you will need:

• QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) and recent experience in a UK primary setting
• A nurturing, flexible teaching approach with the ability to connect quickly with pupils across EYFS, KS1 or KS2
• Confident classroom presence with strong behaviour management rooted in positive reinforcement
• The ability to follow pre-set work while bringing your own creativity and energy to the classroom
• Clear communication, a proactive attitude, and the ability to build rapport with pupils and staff alike
• A minimum of 6 weeks’ teaching experience in the UK

We’re fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults. All applicants will undergo thorough vetting, including enhanced DBS (with children’s barred list check and Update Service registration), references, and online checks as part of our compliance process.

What we offer you:

• Competitive weekly PAYE pay – no umbrella companies
• Complete flexibility around the days you want to work
• Day-to-day, short-term and longer-term teaching opportunities
• Opportunities across local Lincolnshire primary schools
• A dedicated, experienced consultant who gets to know you
• Access to CPD and professional development through The National College
• Simple Recommend a Friend scheme
