Supply Teaching, or relief teaching as you may know it, can be categorised as short-term or long-term supply. Short-term supply teaching is generally where a teacher works at a number of different schools sometimes at very short notice. Short-term supply work is required by schools to cover emergency sickness by staff members and also instances where a staff member is away from school on a planned absence, perhaps on a course.
It is estimated that 1 in 25 teachers are now working as supply teachers in UK schools.
The demand is increasing continuously and the need for supply teachers to provide pupils with safe, quality and continuity of education, has never been greater. The nature of supply means you decide when and where to work, while expanding your range of hands-on experience, and confidently developing your long-term career.
