Supply Teacher

Job content

Are you still looking to secure regular work from September and considering working on a supply basis in the interim?
Would you also like to be part of our growing online tuition platform?

Tradewind Recruitment proudly works with multiple schools and academies throughout Suffolk who will have a regular need for diligent, punctual, and reliable teachers to cover the day-to-day and ongoing absence of their teaching staff from September. Depending on your location, flexibility and transport, you may also be able to work with client schools in neighbouring areas such as Essex and Cambridge.

Supply teaching can be the perfect solution for teachers in various situations. If you are seeking an ongoing role and are finding it challenging in the current market, many short-term supply bookings can lead into long term and permanent positions. It provides a regular source of income, gives you flexibility in your work life and allows you to gain experience from various school environments prior to committing to an ongoing role. If you are a student teacher, this would also be an ideal opportunity to continue your progression and help build your confidence prior to starting your Early Career Framework. Or you may love teaching but are simply not looking for the additional responsibilities of planning, marking and meetings. Either way, Tradewind can help!

With the current challenging climate, we have also launched a platform for online tuition. This connects top teacher talent and parents across the UK and provides an additional source of income. All qualified teachers registered with Tradewind will be able to join this platform and will be fully supported throughout the process, offering another great opportunity to boast your income.

There is a high demand for Supply Teachers and cover staff as school life continues to return to normal, therefore, we are always recruiting for enthusiastic and hard-working teachers in Suffolk. We will try to work to your specialisms and preferences, however, you may be expected to cover a variety of supply needs across all year groups.

As a Supply Teacher or Cover Supervisor you will be delivering and distributing work for the students (either to the whole class or smaller groups) which has been prepared by their class teacher. You will ensure high standards of learning and behaviour are maintained in the teacher’s absence.

To join us and be successful in your application you must:
Hold QTS or an equivalent teaching qualification (Cover Supervisors would ideally have degree or suitable experience working with young people)
Hold an Enhanced DBS Disclosure, or be prepared to put one in process.
Hold an Overseas Police Clearance (if applicable).
Have a CV that covers the last 10 years of employment history where possible and any employment breaks must be explained
