Supply teaching

Daily Supply Teaching

The most flexible approach to teaching, youโ€™ll cover teachers who are absent from school due to illness or training commitments. Often ideal for newly qualified teachers (NQTs), daily supply work provides the opportunity to work in a variety of locations and get a taste of what a school or year group is like before committing to a more long-term appointment.


Short-Term Supply Teaching

An extension of daily supply, short-term supply teaching can run up to half a term allowing you to gain a greater insight into a school and its personnel. Requiring a higher degree of responsibility than that of a daily supply worker, short-term supply teaching represents an excellent route for less experienced teachers and support workers looking to get a taste of school life.


Long-Term Supply Teaching

Working in a role for half a term or longer, long-term supply allows you to take on the full responsibilities of a permanent staff member. Youโ€™ll often be required to make a more significant contribution to curriculum planning and wider school life while benefiting from having your own form class, conducting parents evenings and participating in departmental meetings. Youโ€™ll also be able to bolster your CV with a reference from the school upon completion of the assignment.
