Job Description

Primary Daily Supply Teachers - Ealing & West London


Immediate Start Flexible Work 1-5 Days PAYE Only Consistent Local Schools

If you are an experienced primary teacher and your current agency is not giving you regular work, clear communication or transparent pay, it may be time to switch.

If you are between teaching positions, we can offer flexible work to ensure you earn money while you wait for your next opportunity, whilst introducing you to some of the best schools in West London.

Tradewind Recruitment is expanding its daily supply team across Ealing and surrounding boroughs. We work directly with a large network of mainstream primary schools who use us as a preferred supplier for short-term and emergency cover.

We are looking for reliable, confident teachers who want either:
Regular daily bookings
Flexible 1-3 days per week
Full-time supply without the planning workload
A stepping stone into a long-term role

Why Experienced Teachers Choose Daily Supply

Daily supply is not "fallback" work. For many strong teachers, it offers:

  • No long-term planning or data deadlines
    No parents' evenings
    Better work-life balance
    The ability to leave at the end of the school day
    Exposure to different schools before committing
    Control over which days you work

Many of our best long-term teachers started on supply to find the right school fit.

What Makes Tradewind Different?

We know every agency claims to be "supportive." Here is what we actually do:

  • PAYE only. No umbrella companies. No hidden deductions.
    Transparent daily rates paid weekly.
    A dedicated consultant who answers the phone and knows your preferences.
    Schools that request our teachers back because of quality and reliability.
    Honest conversations about which schools suit you.
    Work offered in advance wherever possible.
    Free CPD through our partnership with The National College.

We focus on building a core group of reliable supply teachers and keeping them consistently busy.

One teacher recently said:

"After months of inconsistent work elsewhere, Tradewind actually listened to what I wanted. I now work in the same few schools regularly and feel valued rather than just 'on a list'."

The Schools

We work with 1-form, 2-form and 3-form entry mainstream primary schools across West London. Many are Ofsted-rated Good or Outstanding, with clear behaviour systems and established routines for supply teachers.

Several schools specifically request teachers who:
Have strong behaviour management
Can quickly establish routines
Deliver pre-planned lessons confidently
Leave clear handover notes

If you are that teacher, we can keep you busy.

Who We Are Looking For

  • UK QTS (ECTs and experienced teachers welcome)
    Recent experience in UK primary schools
    Confident classroom and behaviour management
    Professional, punctual and adaptable
    Available for at least one day per week

This is not suitable for teachers without UK classroom experience.

Thinking About Long-Term or Permanent Roles?

Many of our daily supply teachers transition into secure long-term or permanent positions through us. If you decide you want something more stable, we can support that move.

If you are currently registered with another agency but not getting the consistency you expected, it costs nothing to have a confidential conversation.
