Primary Teacher in Runcorn

Supply Teachers Needed - Halton (Widnes & Runcorn) Primary & SEND Schools Immediate Opportunities Available.

We're a specialist education agency working closely with primary and SEND schools in Widnes and Runcorn, and right now we are inundated with work. Every week, schools come to us needing reliable, capable supply teachers for day-to-day cover, PPAs and training days, and both short- and long-term sickness.

If you're a qualified teacher (or soon to be), there is more opportunity here than you might expect.

What's on offer?

• Competitive daily rates tailored to the school, role, and your experience (averaging between £135 - £190 per day)
• Paid to scale after 12 weeks in a long-term placement
• Total flexibility – you choose the days you work
• Reduced workload – no planning, no marking in most day-to-day roles
• Variety – experience different schools, year groups, and settings
• Networking opportunities – and yes, headteachers do talk!
• Pathways into long-term roles – many supply placements lead to something permanent
• SEND opportunities – strong demand for teachers with specialist experience

We also offer a guarantee scheme for supply teachers. In simple terms: you get paid even if we don't place you that day – on the understanding that you're available and ready to work if something comes in. Terms apply, and we'll talk you through the details.

Who is supply teaching right for?

• ECTs & Graduates: A solid way to build experience, confidence, and classroom presence across a range of schools. Longer placements can even count towards your ECT induction and can often lead to permanent roles.
• M1-M6 Teachers: Teaching can be relentless. If you're starting to feel the strain, supply can offer breathing space – flexibility, less admin, and a chance to reset without stepping away from the profession.
• Experienced & Specialist Teachers: We regularly receive requests for specific expertise, particularly within SEND. Fixed-term supply roles can be a smart next step if you're looking to broaden or refocus your career.

We're working with a wide network of schools across Halton, and new roles come in every week. If you're even slightly curious about supply—or just want an honest conversation about your options with someone who has lived and breathed what it means to be a teacher—apply today and I'll be in touch.
