Temporary Teachers

We are on the lookout for exceptional temporary primary teachers who bring more than just great teaching skills to the classroom. At Classroom Recruiters, we are searching for educators who truly care about the children they teach—teachers who want to use their time, even on a temporary basis, to nurture young minds, build lasting relationships, and support pupils in a meaningful and consistent way.

Whether you’re available for a few days a week or prefer more flexible working patterns, we want to hear from you. We are committed to working with teachers who are not only confident and capable in delivering the curriculum, but who also understand the importance of emotional connection, positive reinforcement, and creating a safe, engaging learning environment where all children can thrive.

We are looking to support a number of welcoming and well-supported primary schools across the Alvaston area, who require high-quality temporary teachers throughout the school year. Opportunities include job share roles, booster group teaching, SATs preparation, and PPA cover, depending on your skills and availability.

If you hold a QTS or PGCE and are passionate about making a real difference—even in a short space of time—we’d love to hear from you. Your time, care, and experience could be exactly what a child needs to succeed.
