Qualified Supply Teacher – General Cover
Location: Worksop and surrounding areas
Pay: £110–£240 per day | Guaranteed pay may be available
Hours: Day-to-day supply cover, with the potential for longer-term placements.
Please note: Applicants must have the right to work in the UK and hold UK Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Applicants without UK QTS cannot be considered for this position.
About The Role
Connex Education are recruiting for dedicated, enthusiastic and adaptable Qualified Supply Teachers to work across a network of secondary schools in Worksop and the surrounding areas.
This is an excellent opportunity for qualified teachers looking for day-to-day general supply work across multiple secondary schools, rather than being based within one specific school.
The role will initially involve day-to-day supply assignments, providing general classroom cover across a variety of subjects and year groups. There may also be opportunities to secure longer-term placements as they become available, depending on school requirements and individual preferences.
To be considered for this position, applicants must hold UK Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). We are unable to consider applicants who hold overseas teaching qualifications but do not have UK QTS.
As a Qualified Supply Teacher, you will provide continuity of learning in the absence of the usual class teacher. This will involve delivering pre-planned lessons, supporting students with their learning, managing classroom behaviour and ensuring lessons run smoothly and effectively.
You will be expected to maintain high standards of teaching and learning, establish a calm and purposeful classroom environment and build positive relationships with students and staff. As you will be working across different schools and settings, adaptability, professionalism and confidence are essential.
The successful candidate will be confident working with students aged 11–16 and able to quickly establish positive relationships within new classroom environments. You will be organised, approachable and resilient, with the ability to adapt to different school expectations, subjects and year groups.
Pay rates range from £110 to £240 per day, depending on experience, qualifications and the nature of the assignment.
There may also be opportunities for guaranteed pay arrangements for eligible candidates. This is considered on a case-by-case basis and is subject to meeting specific criteria, which will be discussed and reviewed during the interview process. Guaranteed pay is not automatically available to all candidates.
Whether you are looking to gain regular day-to-day supply work or are interested in progressing into a longer-term placement, Connex Education can help identify suitable opportunities.
About The Schools
Connex Education works with a wide network of secondary schools and academies across Nottinghamshire and the surrounding areas, including schools in and around Worksop.
Many of our partner schools work with us on an exclusive basis for their supply staffing requirements. This means we are often their first point of contact when they require additional teaching support, giving our candidates access to a wide range of opportunities.
Rather than being tied to one specific school, you will have the opportunity to work across several different settings, gaining experience with a variety of pupils, teaching teams and school environments.
Some assignments may be day-to-day, while others may develop into regular or longer-term placements. Our dedicated education recruitment team will work closely with you to understand your availability, experience and preferences, helping to identify suitable opportunities.
