Job description

Jobs / PPA Cover Teacher – 1 Day a Week (Thursdays) – Peacehaven, East Sussex

Position: Teacher

Contract type: Temp/Contract

School type: Primary

School: Community primary school

Area: Peacehaven, near Brighton, East Sussex

Are you a primary teacher who wants a regular, stress-free teaching day each week – with planning provided for you to teach from?

We’re looking for a flexible, qualified teacher to cover PPA time every Thursday at a well-run, two-form entry primary school in Peacehaven, East Sussex.

What’s the job?

It’s one fixed day a week (Thursdays), covering classes across Nursery to Year 5. You’ll be releasing Phase Leaders so they can plan and prep. That means no mountains of paperwork, just good old-fashioned teaching.

What’s in it for you?

  • A regular, predictable day of work – No last-minute calls, no supply roulette.
  • No planning – You teach, you ‘live mark’ during sessions. You go home. Simple.
  • Well-behaved kids – Ofsted called their behaviour "outstanding".
  • A supportive, well-organised school – No chaos, no endless “initiatives.”
  • Easy commute – Less than 10 miles from Brighton, with regular bus routes and on-site parking.
  • A proper community feel – The kids love their school, and so will you.

What we need from you

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
  • Flexibility – You are confident from Nursery up to Year 5.
  • Reliability – This placement is confirmed until the end of this academic year.
