01 Aug Why Supply Teaching Is Perfect for Parents Returning to Work
And Why Moore Teachers Is the Top Choice for Primary Supply in Hertfordshire and West Essex
For many parents returning to work after raising children, finding the right role can be a challenge. Balancing career ambitions with school runs, childcare, and family life requires flexibility, understanding — and the right support from an employer.
That’s where supply teaching comes in — and more importantly, where Moore Teachers, the leading primary supply teaching agency in Hertfordshire and West Essex, can help.
Whether you’re a qualified teacher looking to re-enter the profession or considering a new direction in education, supply teaching through Moore Teachers offers flexibility, fulfilment, and exceptional support tailored to your needs.

No pressure, no unrealistic expectations — just the right amount of flexibility to help you return to work at your own pace.
Term-Time Only Roles – Ideal for Parents
Say goodbye to juggling annual leave or arranging expensive childcare during school holidays. With Moore Teachers, your assignments are during school term-time only, giving you valuable time off during holidays — just like your children.
As a specialist primary education agency, we match you with roles that fit around family life and school calendars.
Less Paperwork, More Teaching
