Your new company
Christmas is quickly approaching and there are only a few weeks left of term, which means we are now looking towards January and supporting schools with jobs from then. There is always a high demand for supply cover, particularly in KS2, and there is a particularly high demand come January. We are currently seeing an increase in demand for supply teachers and so, with that in mind, we’re looking for individuals who are confident in teaching this age range and can come in and hit the ground running. This could be perfect if you only want to work part-time, if you’re new to teaching or if you’d like to take a step back from all the full responsibilities as a full-class teacher.
If you are yet to secure a role, then now would be the perfect time to get in touch. We deal with temporary and permanent roles, so if you’d like to know more, please get in touch.
Your new role
Supply cover teachers are responsible for covering lessons that are left absent by the class teacher, so in this role you will be using existing lesson plans left for the class and making sure these are carried out to a high standard. You will need to ensure pupils are still fully engaged with the learning and be adaptable when required. You should be able to build relationships quickly and hold strong behaviour management skills. This is a great role to broaden your experience working in various schools and year groups and to expand your knowledge.
What you’ll need to succeed
In order to be successful in securing this position, hold qualified teacher status (QTS) gained in the UK. You should be enthusiastic, approachable and be able to hit the ground running. Good knowledge of the KS2 curriculum is preferred, however, this could be a perfect role for an NQT/ECT that is looking to gain some experience working within the primary school environment.
What you’ll get in return
In return, you will be paid a competitive daily rate while gaining invaluable working experience. You will receive continued support from your experienced personal consultant who has forged strong relationships with local schools, along with free career development courses and free CV and interview advice.
