Tradewind Recruitment
Primary School Teacher: Catholic Multi-Academy Trust (MAT)Blackpool and Fylde Coast | September 2026 Start
Strategic Supply & Long-Term Roles: Secure Your Future for the New Academic Year
Are you looking for a fresh start this September? We are currently seeking dedicated Primary Teachers to support a leading Catholic Multi-Academy Trust across the Blackpool and Fylde Coast, covering schools from Kirkham to Fleetwood.
The upcoming term is our most vital recruitment period. By joining the Trust now, you will be perfectly positioned for permanent or long-term vacancies arising from the May resignation deadline for September 2026 starts.
Choose Your Path: Daily Cover vs. Long-Term Teaching
We offer two distinct ways to work within the Trust, allowing you to choose the level of responsibility that fits your lifestyle:
1. Daily Ad-hoc Cover (£120 – £150 per day)
- The Role: Deliver pre-planned lessons provided by the school. Ideal for those seeking flexibility and a stress-free work-life balance.
- The Benefit: No planning, no assessment, and no staff meetings. This is an excellent "stepping stone" to get to know the schools within the Trust.
- Requirements: High-quality lesson delivery, marking the day's work, and ensuring a tidy classroom reset.
2. Long-Term Teaching Posts (£168.80+ per day)
- The Role: Full teaching responsibilities, including planning, assessment, and wider school contributions (parents' evenings and staff meetings).
- The Benefit: Direct experience that frequently leads to permanent recruitment and internal contracts.
- Pay: Paid to the M-Scale (starting from £168.80 per day, dependent on experience).
The Catholic Ethos & Your Career
As these schools sit within a Catholic MAT, all staff are expected to support and uphold the spiritual mission of the Trust.
- Permanent Prospects: While not required for initial supply work, teachers wishing to transition into a permanent contract will be encouraged to obtain the Catholic Certificate in Religious Studies (CCRS). We provide full guidance on how to begin this qualification.
Why Join Tradewind This Year?
- September Readiness: Secure your reputation in your favorite schools before the September 2026 recruitment drive peaks.
- High Volume: Benefit from consistent, local work across the Fylde Coast.
- Free CPD: Access over 2,500+ accredited courses to keep your teaching methods and safeguarding knowledge current.
- Local Expertise: Benefit from our 8 years of dedicated recruitment experience with Fylde Coast Primary schools.
Requirements:
- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is essential.
- A respectful and supportive approach to the Catholic faith and school traditions.
- Strong classroom management and a commitment to high standards.
- An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply for a new one).
