Supply Teacher, Shropshire

Job Description

New Directions Education are recruiting for Supply Teachers to support various secondary schools across the Shropshire borough.

We are currently looking to add multiple Supply Teachers to join our bank of staff to help cover day to day, short term & long term roles from September.

Within this role we will work around your availability whether that be one day per week or five days per week. We have long term roles in specific subjects but also looking for staff who are happy to cover a mixture of lessons.

Full day working hours would be 8:30am-3:30pm with the opportunity also to work mornings or afternoon sessions too.

This is a fantastic way for Teachers to try out multiple different schools in the area to help you narrow down choices before applying for full time jobs and also a great way to get yourself known in schools with the backing of New Directions Education.

Last year we had several candidates who started on a day to day supply role and ended up in permanent contracts, as supply is a great way to build relationships with the staff and children.
