Supply teachers perform an important role, they are employed as short term or temporary teachers in schools, usually where vacancies or staff illness means that a replacement teacher needs to be found. They can have a big impact on the smooth running of schools and the education of their pupils.
Northamptonshire County Council maintains an extensive supply teaching database containing contact details, subjects, age phase taught, etc. On request, a supply list is produced for schools who then contact individuals directly for supply cover. Once accepted onto the register, supply teachers may also contact schools to seek employment.
Customary clearance checks will be carried out on all new supply teachers and those who have been out of teaching for some time. Supply teachers are paid in keeping with Teachers' Conditions of Service and by working for the authority, may contribute to Teachers Pensions.
If you are moving to Northamptonshire, leaving a teaching post, working part-time or thinking about returning to teaching after a career break, supply teaching could be the opportunity you seek.
