Daily Supply Primary Teachers

Borough of Hillingdon

Tradewind Recruitment is currently recruiting primary teachers for daily supply work across the Borough of Hillingdon. We work in close partnership with a large number of mainstream primary schools who rely on us for high-quality, dependable supply teachers to cover short-term absences, training days and unexpected staff shortages.

This opportunity is ideal for teachers who want flexibility, teachers who are not getting consistent work through their current agency, or those who want to experience a range of schools before committing to something longer term.

Whether you are looking for one or two days a week or full-time daily supply, we can tailor work around your availability and preferences.

The Schools You Will Work In

Tradewind works with a broad range of primary schools across Hillingdon, including schools in areas such as Uxbridge, Hayes, West Drayton, Ruislip, Northolt and Yiewsley.

Our partner schools typically include:

Good and Outstanding Ofsted-rated mainstream primary schools 1-form, 2-form and 3-form entry schools Established leadership teams with clear expectations for supply staff Consistent behaviour policies already embedded across the school Schools that regularly use supply teachers and value continuity Locations with strong transport links, including the Piccadilly Line, Central Line, Elizabeth Line and local bus routes

Many of our supply teachers return to the same schools regularly, allowing you to build familiarity and positive relationships rather than constantly moving between unfamiliar settings.

The Role

As a daily supply teacher, you will:

Provide day-to-day cover across EYFS, KS1 or KS2 (based on your preference) Deliver pre-planned lessons left by the class teacher Maintain classroom routines and behaviour expectations Ensure pupils remain on task and engaged throughout the day Provide brief handover feedback to the school at the end of the day Represent Tradewind professionally within schoolsThere is no expectation of long-term planning, marking or meetings for daily supply roles.

Why Teachers Choose Daily Supply

Daily supply is increasingly popular with both ECTs and experienced teachers. It offers:

Complete control over your working week A better work-life balance Exposure to different schools and year groups The chance to build confidence and experience An opportunity to "try before you commit" to longer-term roles A route back into teaching after a career breakMany of our teachers start on daily supply and later secure long-term or permanent roles through us once they find the right school fit.
