You are responsible for maintaining class focus using pre-prepared work to ensure that the students feel continuity in their learning and don't miss out on their education. There is no expectation for you to be a subject specialist in the subject that you are teaching, simply having face-to-face teaching experience is adequate as you will be covering a range of subjects and topics with a variety of students from different year groups with a range of abilities and needs.

This means that you could be working with five different schools across the week throughout your local area and is a very flexible way to work with us as this can fit easily in with your availability and home lives. Schools may ask to book a teacher for a week, a month or even the whole school year. This would be a longer-term post that would require set availability from you. Just let your consultant know what you are looking for and they will be able to support and answer any questions. If you are working as a daily supply teacher, you are able to change your availability each week!
