• Job Type: Flexible (Daily Cover) or Full-Time (Long-Term)

Are you a primary educator looking for teaching work in Blackpool that fits your lifestyle for the new school year? Whether you want to enjoy a great work-life balance through flexible daily cover this Autumn, or aim to secure a long-term placement for the first term of the academic year, we have the perfect opportunity for you.

Choose Your Path: Flexibility vs. Career Progression

We offer two distinct ways to work, allowing you to choose the level of responsibility that fits your current needs:

1. Daily Ad-hoc Cover (£120 – £150 per day)

• The Ultimate Work-Life Balance

• This is the ideal role for teachers seeking part-time work or those who want total control of their availability, choosing exactly which days they work each week throughout the Autumn term.

• The Role: Deliver pre-planned lessons provided by the school. When the bell rings, your day is done.

• The Benefits: No planning, no assessment, and no staff meetings. It is an excellent "stepping stone" to explore different school environments across the Fylde Coast without a long-term commitment.

• Requirements: High-quality lesson delivery, marking the day's work, and ensuring a tidy classroom reset.

2. Long-Term Teaching Contracts (£168.80+ per day)

• Secure Your Future for the Term

• September is the busiest time of the year for long-term block placements and maternity cover. Many of our teachers also use daily cover as a "working interview"-the exposure you gain from daily assignments this term is the most effective way to secure a permanent contract in the schools you enjoy most.

• The Role: Take full ownership of a class, including planning, assessment, and wider school contributions such as parents' evenings and staff meetings.

• The Benefits: Gain deep experience within a specific school community, often leading to internal contracts and permanent recruitment for January.

• Pay: Paid to the M-Scale (minimum £168.80 per day).
