That probably tells you quite a lot about this job already.
I work with secondary schools across Brighton and the surrounding areas, and I'm continuing to build my pool of reliable Supply Teachers and Cover Supervisors for day-to-day and pre-booked cover.
Schools can start contacting me from 6:30am, and occasionally earlier, when somebody has called in sick and they suddenly have lessons that need covering.
So there will be mornings when your phone rings early.
There will also be plenty of bookings arranged beforehand.
That's the reality of day-to-day supply, and I'd rather explain it properly from the outset.
You do not need to be available five days a week.
Two days? Fine.
One day? Still useful.
Availability that changes each week? We can work with that too.
What I need is communication and reliability.
If you've told me you're available on Tuesday and a school calls me at 6:35am, I need to know there's a reasonable chance you'll answer or get back to me quickly.
If you're no longer available, just tell me.
It really is that simple.
In return, you get genuine flexibility over your working week.
Bookings can include:
I'll also try to get you back into schools you enjoy.
Once a school knows somebody is good, dependable and understands how they operate, they'll often request that person again rather than continually having someone new.
For Supply Teacher bookings, I'm looking for qualified teachers across a range of secondary subjects.
You'll generally need QTS or an appropriate equivalent.
This can be a good option if you still enjoy teaching but don't currently want everything that comes with holding a permanent timetable.
You do not need QTS to work as a Cover Supervisor.
You'll supervise lessons using work provided by the school, manage classroom behaviour and keep pupils engaged while their usual teacher is absent.
