Primary jobs in Chichester

About primary education in Chichester

Primary settings in Chichester — 30 primary schools in total — book supply staff throughout the academic year. Primary cover is the busiest part of the local market, with most bookings confirmed the evening before or first thing in the morning. Together, Chichester's schools and nurseries educate around 18,000 children, and that scale keeps primary cover requests coming in every week of term.

You might cover a single class for the day, split your time across year groups, or run intervention groups with pupils who need extra support. Bookings come from across the city and surrounding areas including Chichester City, Selsey and Midhurst, so you can filter for primary schools within a comfortable commute.

Teachers who work regularly with the same schools are often approached directly when permanent vacancies open. Our South team knows these settings personally, so you get an honest picture of the school or nursery before you accept a booking, plus rates confirmed up front in the app.
