Job Description

Primary Supply Teacher – Merton | EYFS, KS1 & KS2 | Long & Short-Term Opportunities

 

Are you a Primary Supply Teacher looking for pre-booked teaching work in Merton?

 

Whether you're an ECT or an experienced Primary Teacher, Ribbons & Reeves have a variety of exciting opportunities across EYFS, KS1 and KS2.

 

We work exclusively with schools requiring planned cover, meaning you'll be offered pre-arranged bookings rather than unpredictable day-to-day work. Assignments range from one-week absences to long-term maternity covers, sabbaticals and temporary-to-permanent positions, giving you the flexibility to choose work that suits your lifestyle while gaining valuable experience in excellent primary schools across Merton.

 

About the Primary Supply Teacher role:

  • Pre-booked short-term and long-term teaching assignments
  • Opportunities across EYFS, KS1 and KS2
  • Long-term maternity, sabbatical and sickness cover available
  • Temp-to-perm opportunities with the chance to secure a permanent teaching role
  • Competitive weekly PAYE pay
  • Paid in line with AWR (Agency Workers' Regulations) where applicable
  • No umbrella companies
  • Dedicated consultant providing ongoing support throughout your placement

 

What we're looking for:

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
  • ECTs and experienced Primary Teachers welcome to apply
  • Excellent classroom and behaviour management skills
  • Confident, adaptable teachers who can hit the ground running
  • Strong communication and organisational skills
  • Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one
  • A genuine passion for delivering high-quality teaching and ensuring continuity of learning for pupils

 

We're looking for adaptable, reliable teachers who can quickly establish positive relationships, deliver engaging lessons and confidently step into a new classroom from day one. As schools often require teachers at short notice, strong communication skills and a flexible approach are essential.

 

If you're a Primary Supply Teacher seeking flexible, pre-booked teaching opportunities in Merton, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today to discuss the schools and opportunities available for September and throughout the academic year.

 

Ribbons & Reeves are London’s leading Education Recruiters. We specialise in helping educators of all levels secure long-term and permanent roles, such as this Primary Supply Teacher role in Merton.
