Part-Time Primary Teacher – PPA Cover – Newcastle-under-Lyme

2 or 3 Days per Week | Regular Weekly Work | Flexible Teaching Opportunities

£260–£480 per week (£130–£160 per day) | Weekly Pay | No Planning, No Reports

Two or three days a week in the classroom, and the rest of the week is yours. Could that be you?

At Vision for Education, we're working with primary schools across Newcastle-under-Lyme, Kidsgrove and North Stoke looking for reliable, enthusiastic teachers to provide regular Planning, Preparation and Assessment (PPA) cover.

These opportunities offer the chance to teach the same classes, on the same days, at the same school each week, providing consistency for both you and the children.

You'll deliver lessons while the class teacher has their allocated planning time, with work typically prepared for you.

No planning to write. No reports. No parents' evenings.

If you love being in the classroom but don't miss the additional workload of a full-time teaching position, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!

What Does the Role Involve?

• Regular PPA cover on fixed days, often teaching the same classes each week.

• Delivering engaging lessons in subjects such as PE, Music, RE, Art, Computing and Modern Foreign Languages.

• Teaching pre-planned lessons and following the school's existing curriculum.

• Opportunities across EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.

• Building positive relationships with pupils and staff through consistent weekly placements.

• The option to accept additional day-to-day supply work on your available days.

Whether you prefer KS1, KS2 or teaching a particular subject, we'll aim to match you with schools and opportunities that suit your experience.

Who Is This Role Suitable For?

We welcome applications from:

• Teachers returning to the classroom who want to ease back into teaching.

• Experienced teachers looking to reduce their working week.

• Parents wanting flexible teaching opportunities around family commitments.

• Teachers with a passion or specialism in PE, Music, Languages, Computing or other curriculum subjects.

• Early Career Teachers (ECTs) looking for part-time teaching experience.

• Qualified teachers who want to continue teaching without the responsibilities of a full-time class teacher.

Whether you're looking for two days a week or three, we'd love to hear from you!

Pay, Benefits & Opportunities

Working with Vision for Education, you'll receive:

• £130–£160 per day, depending on experience and the role.

• £260–£480 per week based on working two or three days.

• Regular part-time teaching opportunities, with the potential for consistent weekly bookings.

• Fixed working days where available, helping you plan your week around other commitments.

• Weekly PAYE payments.

• Opportunities for additional supply teaching or full-time work if desired.

• Guaranteed Pay Scheme (subject to qualifying criteria).

• Pension contributions after a qualifying period.

• Full Agency Workers Regulations (AWR) compliance.

• Free Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and safeguarding training.

• Refer-a-friend bonus scheme.

• A dedicated recruitment consultant who understands the local schools and your preferred working arrangements.

Why Consistency Matters

PPA cover works best when children see a familiar face each week.

Schools value teachers who build relationships with pupils, understand classroom routines and deliver engaging lessons consistently.

Many of our PPA teachers secure regular weekly bookings throughout the academic year, with some schools requesting the same teachers again the following September.

Our aim is simple: help you enjoy teaching while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

What You'll Need

To be considered, you'll need:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), including overseas-trained teachers with recognised UK QTS.

• Previous primary teaching experience.

• Confidence delivering lessons across the primary curriculum.

• A positive, adaptable and reliable approach.

• An Enhanced DBS registered on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one.

• The right to work in the UK.

• A willingness to complete safeguarding and compliance checks.

Have a particular subject you love teaching?

Let us know if you specialise in PE, Music, Modern Foreign Languages, Computing or another curriculum area, as schools regularly request teachers with these skills.

Please also tell us which two or three days you're available each week, so we can match you with suitable opportunities.
