Cover Teacher Opportunities – Leeds Area

We’re working with a number of primary and secondary schools across the Leeds area who are looking for reliable Cover Teachers to support on a flexible basis.

These roles are ideal if you enjoy variety — stepping into different classrooms, working with different year groups, and keeping learning on track when the regular teacher is away.

The focus is on maintaining a calm, productive classroom and delivering set work, rather than heavy planning or marking.

What you’ll be doing:

• Delivering lessons set by the class teacher
• Managing classroom behaviour and routines
• Supporting pupils to stay engaged with their learning
• Working across different schools and year groups

Pay & details:

• £140–£240 per day (depending on experience)
• Flexible, part-time or full-time cover work
• Schools across the Leeds area
• Day-to-day and short-term bookings available

What schools are looking for:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) preferred
• Confident classroom presence
• Able to adapt quickly to new environments
• Reliable, calm, and professional approach

All applicants will require the appropriate qualifications and training for this role. Please see the FAQs on the Protocol Education website for further details.

All pay rates quoted will be inclusive of 12.07% statutory holiday pay. This advert is for a temporary position. In some cases, the option to make this role permanent may become available at a later date.
