If you hold Qualified Teacher Status, you can come back to the classroom. QTS does not expire, so whether you have been away on maternity or paternity leave, taken a career break or worked outside education, primary supply teaching is a gentle way to return. Sussex Teachers Ltd is a family owned supply agency that has placed teachers in Sussex schools since 2007.
Why supply suits returners
- You choose your days, from one to five a week, term time only, around childcare and the school run.
- You rebuild confidence at your own pace, in local schools across Brighton, Hove and East and West Sussex.
- You teach from plans the school provides.
- There is no pressure to accept every booking.
What the work involves
A school calls us when a teacher is absent. You take that class for the day, from EYFS to Year 6, deliver the planned lessons, keep the room calm and leave a short handover for the class teacher.
Pay
Qualified teachers earn £130 a day on day to day supply. Pay arrives every Friday morning for the week before, through PAYE, never an umbrella company. Holiday pay of 12.07% is included in the rate, and your Key Information Document reaches you before your first day.
Getting ready to go back
- Free safeguarding and child protection training, so you are up to date before you step back in.
- One consultant who gets to know you.
- If a school offers you a permanent job, there is no transfer fee to stand in your way.
