Would you like the flexibility of supply teaching without relying solely on last-minute calls each morning?

Teaching Personnel is recruiting reliable and enthusiastic Primary Supply Teachers to support a well-established Multi-Academy Trust across the Wirral. The Trust regularly requires teachers for pre-booked cover, giving you greater notice, more consistency and the opportunity to build relationships across a familiar group of schools.
