Be Your Own Boss: Rewarding Supply Teacher Roles in London & Beyond

Supply teachers play a vital role in keeping schools running smoothly. They provide temporary cover for teachers who’re absent due to illness, training days, or other commitments. And with growing student numbers coupled with teacher shortages, it’s clear that we’re experiencing an increased demand for them right now across the UK.

 

To be a successful supply teacher, you need excellent communication, classroom management, and planning skills. You also need to be adaptable, enthusiastic and able to engage students of all ages and abilities. But the beauty of supply teaching is the flexibility it offers. You can choose the days you work, the age groups you teach, and the schools you support, allowing you to establish a routine that works for you.
