Job Description

Working as a supply teacher gives you complete flexibility - allowing you to work when it suits you, take term-time breaks, and gain experience across different year groups and school settings, either close to home or further afield.



Why work as a supply teacher?

  • Choose your schedule - work only on the days you're available

  • Flexibility around commitments - ideal for family, study, or part-time work

  • Term-time breaks - take time off without needing approval

  • Variety of schools & year groups - broaden your experience

  • Try before you commit - explore schools before moving into a permanent role

  • No long-term planning or marking - deliver pre-set lessons

  • Fewer meetings & admin - no parents' evenings or performance management

  • Develop behaviour management & adaptability

  • Leave work at work - better work-life balance and mental wellbeing

This type of work is particularly suited to:

  • ECTs building confidence and classroom experience

  • Experienced teachers seeking flexibility

  • Retired teachers wanting to stay in education without full-time pressure

  • Career returners or changers easing back into teaching

  • Teachers looking to network and secure future permanent roles
