Are you a passionate, adaptable and motivated Primary Teacher looking for a rewarding role that offers variety, flexibility and the opportunity to make a real difference across local schools? We are currently recruiting for enthusiastic Primary Class Teachers to work across a range of welcoming and supportive primary schools in Thetford and the surrounding areas. With opportunities available across EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, this is an excellent chance to develop your experience, expand your professional network and enjoy a diverse teaching career whilst maintaining a healthy work-life balance. We work closely with a number of well-regarded schools throughout the Thetford area who rely on high-quality teachers to provide both planned and emergency classroom cover. As a result, we can offer a mixture of day-to-day supply, advance bookings, short-term assignments and longer-term placements to suit different availability and career goals. Whether you are seeking full-time work, part-time flexibility, or simply looking to gain experience across a variety of school settings, we have opportunities available throughout the academic year. As a Supply Primary Teacher, you will have the chance to inspire and engage pupils across different age groups while supporting schools during periods of staff absence, increased demand or longer-term staffing requirements. Every placement provides a unique opportunity to experience different school cultures, teaching environments and leadership styles while building your confidence and broadening your classroom expertise. The successful candidate will be able to quickly establish positive relationships with pupils, maintain an engaging learning environment and confidently deliver lessons that support pupil progress and achievement.

These opportunities are ideal for experienced teachers looking for greater flexibility, Early Career Teachers seeking valuable classroom experience, or teachers returning to education who want to rebuild their confidence and knowledge across different settings. Working across multiple schools allows you to develop a broad range of skills while establishing valuable connections with local Headteachers and senior leaders, often leading to repeat bookings and long-term opportunities. We are particularly interested in hearing from teachers who are passionate about delivering high-quality learning experiences and who understand the importance of creating inclusive classrooms where every child can thrive.

In return, you will benefit from access to a wide range of primary schools across Thetford and surrounding villages, competitive rates of pay, flexible working options tailored to your availability and the support of a dedicated education recruitment consultant who understands the local market. You will also gain valuable exposure to different teaching methods, curriculum delivery styles and school environments, helping to further enhance your professional development. This role offers far more than simply covering classes. It provides the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in schools that value quality teaching and support, while allowing you to enjoy the variety that comes from working with different pupils, colleagues and communities. Every day brings new experiences, fresh challenges and the chance to inspire young learners at a crucial stage of their educational journey.
