Type of work

Day to day/short-term work

This offers freedom to work when and where you wish. It can range from day to day supply at different schools.

This offers the freedom to work when and where you wish. It can range from day-to-day supply at different schools or one to two weeks work in one school usually covering courses or sickness.

Day to day supply is an excellent way to work in a variety of schools and can give you a good insight into how UK schools are run.

This type of work can also be very last minute i.e. on the day required or it may be pre-booked through in-service training days, planned leave and SATs cover.

It would suit an individual who wishes to have flexibility, variety in their working experience.

Long term work

Long term positions require the teacher/support personnel to take on the complete responsibilities of a full-time classroom teacher/support personnel. You will become involved in the school community and regarded as a regular member of staff. For teachers other requirements will include attending parent’s evenings, planning, assessment, attending staff meetings, liaising with educational specialists and being involved in professional development.

This offers security of pay and the opportunity to get to know the school and classes. You do need to commit for the period of the vacancy.

Again for teachers other requirements will include attending parent’s evenings, planning, assessment, attending staff meetings, liaising with educational specialists and being involved in professional development. The salary for this position will be negotiated with the school.
