Teachers Wanted: Opportunities Across Greater Manchester
Tradewind Recruitment are currently recruiting passionate, adaptable and dedicated Supply Teachers to work across a variety of welcoming and supportive primary schools throughout Bolton, Bury and the surrounding boroughs.
We are looking for enthusiastic teachers who can confidently deliver engaging lessons, manage classroom behaviour effectively and support pupils in reaching their full potential. Whether you are an experienced teacher looking for flexibility, an ECT wanting to gain experience in different school settings, or someone returning to teaching, we would love to hear from you.
To be considered for these opportunities, candidates must:
* Hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
* Have experience working within UK schools
* Be passionate about delivering high-quality teaching and learning
Supply teaching offers excellent flexibility and the opportunity to work in a range of school environments while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. We have opportunities available for day-to-day, short-term and long-term placements to suit your availability and preferences.
Alongside daily supply cover, we also recruit for long-term teaching opportunities including maternity covers, long-term sickness cover and temp-to-perm positions starting from September and throughout the academic year. These roles can be a fantastic opportunity for teachers looking for more consistency, experience within a particular school, or the chance to secure a permanent position.
Although we are currently recruiting heavily for Primary Supply Teachers, we also recruit for Secondary Teachers and SEN Teachers across a variety of settings. We work with schools throughout Bolton, Bury, Salford, Rochdale, Manchester, Oldham, Tameside and Stockport offering a wide range of opportunities across different year groups and specialisms.
At Tradewind Recruitment, we pride ourselves on supporting our candidates throughout their journey. Our dedicated consultants work closely with schools to match teachers with roles that suit their experience, skills and career goals.
**We also offer £100 referral bonuses when you refer a Teacher or Teaching Assistant to Tradewind Recruitment.**
