About this job

Bright Star Talent is currently recruiting qualified teachers across Birmingham to join our team for day-to-day supply and PPA cover within local primary schools.

This is a great opportunity for teachers who want flexibility without the commitment of a full-time role. Whether you're looking for a couple of days each week, work around other commitments, or simply prefer the variety of supply teaching, we can offer work on an as-and-when basis to suit your availability.

You tell us the days you're available, and we'll work around you.

As a Day-to-Day Supply / PPA Teacher, you may be required to:

*

Provide general classroom cover across EYFS, KS1 or KS2 depending on your experience.

*

Deliver pre-planned lessons and ensure pupils remain engaged with their learning.

*

Provide PPA cover across different classes and year groups.

*

Manage classroom behaviour confidently and positively.

*

Follow individual school policies, routines and safeguarding procedures.

*

Adapt quickly to different classroom environments.

*

Provide feedback to the class teacher or school at the end of the day.

*

Create a positive and supportive learning environment for pupils.

To be successful in this role, you will have:

*

Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) – essential.

*

Experience teaching within a UK primary school.

*

Good classroom and behaviour management skills.

*

Confidence working across different year groups where required.

*

A reliable, professional and adaptable approach.

*

The ability to quickly build positive relationships with pupils and school staff.

*

A genuine passion for teaching and supporting children's learning.

This type of work is particularly suited to:

*

Teachers looking for part-time or flexible work.

*

Teachers who only want to work certain days each week.

*

Teachers returning to the classroom who want to ease back into teaching.

*

Experienced teachers looking for a better work-life balance.

*

Teachers who enjoy working across different schools and year groups.

*

Candidates who want as-and-when work without committing to a long-term position.

Why Work Through Bright Star Talent?

At Bright Star Talent, we work closely with primary schools across Birmingham and take the time to understand both our candidates and the type of work they're looking for.

We offer:

*

Flexible work to fit around your availability.

*

Competitive daily rates of pay.

*

Day-to-day, PPA, short-term and longer-term opportunities.

*

No obligation to work every day – simply let us know when you're available.

*

A dedicated consultant who will keep you updated with suitable local work.

*

A quick and straightforward registration process.

*

Honest communication and ongoing support from our education recruitment team.

Whether you're available one day a week or five, we'd love to hear from you and discuss the opportunities we have available across Birmingham.
