Are you a Primary Teacher who loves teaching but doesn't love the workload that comes with it?
Planning late into the evening? Marking at weekends? Meetings, paperwork and never quite switching off?
Supply teaching could give you the flexibility you've been looking for.
At Academics, we work with a fantastic network of primary schools across Chelmsford and the surrounding areas, giving you the opportunity to choose when, where and how often you work.
What could supply give you?
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
