Flexible Supply Teacher New

Central & South Bristol
Flexible Supply | Choose Your Days
Start Date: ASAP
Mainstream Secondary Schools | KS3 & KS4

I am recruiting Teachers and Cover Supervisors for flexible supply opportunities across mainstream secondary schools in Central and South Bristol.

Whether you're available one day a week or five, supply gives you the flexibility to choose when you work while gaining experience across a range of Bristol schools.

This could be ideal if you're an experienced teacher looking for a better work-life balance, an ECT wanting to experience different schools, or an experienced Cover Supervisor confident taking responsibility for a secondary classroom.

Depending on your experience and the needs of the school, you may be working as a Supply Teacher or Cover Supervisor across KS3 and KS4.

Your day could involve:

• Taking responsibility for classes during teacher absence
• Delivering pre-planned lessons and activities
• Teaching within your subject specialism where appropriate
• Managing classroom behaviour and maintaining clear expectations
• Ensuring students remain focused and engaged with their learning
• Adapting confidently to different classes, year groups and school environments
• Following individual schools' behaviour and safeguarding policies
• Providing feedback to permanent teaching staff at the end of lessons

For Cover Supervisor positions, you do not necessarily need QTS, but previous experience managing groups of secondary-aged students is strongly desired.

I'd love to hear from:

• Qualified Secondary Teachers
• Early Career Teachers (ECTs)
• Experienced Cover Supervisors
• Teachers returning to education
• Retired or semi-retired teachers
• Unqualified Teachers with relevant classroom experience
• HLTA-level education professionals
• Graduates with strong secondary classroom experience
• Sports Coaches or Instructors with experience managing larger groups of young people

We're interested in teachers across all secondary subjects, including:

• Maths
• English
• Science
• Humanities
• PE
• MFL
• Business
• Computing / ICT
• Art
• Drama / Performing Arts
• Design Technology
• Food Technology
• Music

Cover Supervisors should be happy to work across a range of subjects, as lesson content will usually be provided by the school.

Supply works best for people who can quickly adapt to different environments.

You'll ideally be:

✔ Confident managing a secondary classroom

✔ Able to establish expectations and routines quickly

✔ Comfortable working across different subjects and year groups

✔ Adaptable and able to think on your feet

✔ Calm and confident around a range of behaviours

✔ Professional and approachable with students and staff

✔ Proactive and willing to get involved

✔ Reliable once you've accepted a booking

Previous secondary school experience is highly desirable.

One of the biggest benefits of supply is that you decide when you're available.

Whether you want to work:

• One or two days alongside other commitments
• Three or four regular days each week
• Full-time supply Monday to Friday
• Certain days on an ad-hoc basis

...we can work around your availability.

There's no requirement to commit to five days every week. All we ask is that once you've accepted a booking, you are reliable and committed to attending.
