Every September brings a wave of planned absences, training days, illness, timetable changes and increased demand for flexible staff.
To make sure the secondary schools I work with are properly supported from day one, I'm looking to build a reliable pool of Supply Teachers and Cover Supervisors before the new academic year begins.
I'm not advertising one specific vacancy.
I'm looking to build long-term working relationships with dependable educators who enjoy flexible work and want to become trusted faces within local secondary schools across Brighton and the surrounding areas.
Some work is booked weeks in advance.
Other bookings come in on the morning they're needed.
It's not unusual for schools to start contacting me from 6:30am (and occasionally even earlier) to arrange emergency cover for that day.
That means there will be occasions where I'll be calling educators from around 6:30am onwards to offer work.
If you're happy picking up the occasional last-minute booking, you'll often find schools begin requesting you by name once they've seen you in action.
Reliability matters far more to me than availability.
You don't need to be available every day.
If you're only free on Tuesdays and Thursdays, that's absolutely fine.
What matters is that the availability you give me is genuine. If you tell me you're available on a Thursday, I want to be confident you'll either answer my call or get back to me quickly if a school needs support.
That's how great relationships are built—with schools and with educators.
I'd love to hear from:
Many of my regular educators started by picking up the occasional day's supply before becoming trusted, regularly requested members of a school's wider team.
Access to a vehicle is advantageous, allowing you to travel to a wider range of schools, though it's by no means essential.
If you don't currently hold one, you'll need to apply through us. I'll support you throughout the process.
As part of safeguarding, we'll also require references covering a total of 24 months of employment history (where possible), alongside a full employment and education history.
If you're looking for flexible work this September and want to build a strong relationship with one consultant and a network of local secondary schools, I'd love to hear from you.
Apply today and let's get everything in place before the new academic year begins.
