We want to hear from you if you:

• Are Qualified: You hold QTS or QTLS (Early Career Teachers are welcome!).

• Are Adaptable: You can quickly digest a lesson plan and deliver it with confidence, regardless of the subject.

• Have Presence: You have excellent classroom management skills and can build a quick rapport with students you've just met.

• Are Reliable: You are punctual, professional, and ready to hit the ground running.

• Deliver: Follow the set work left by the permanent teacher, ensuring students understand and complete the tasks.

• Manage: Maintain high standards of behaviour in line with the school's policy.

• Support: Offer 1:1 or group assistance to students who need extra help with the set work.

• Liaise: Leave a clear handover note for the returning teacher so they know exactly how the students progressed.
