Why should I choose supply teaching?
Supply teaching is a vital part of our education system. When you choose to temp with Capita, you choose to become part of one of the UK’s largest and most professional supply teaching agencies.
There’s no single reason that makes teachers choose a supply teaching job. It’s ideal for gaining exposure to different schools, systems and age ranges to strengthen your CV. It can help to build your confidence if you’ve retrained for a different age range prior to taking on a permanent post, if you’re returning to teaching after a career break or you simply want to experience new schools in an area which you’ve relocated to. It’s also advantageous if you’ve taken early retirement but would still like to teach a few days a week, or even if you fancy combining part-time teaching with family commitments.
What does it involve?
The opportunity to apply your skills, expertise and experience in differing environments. It will present different challenges, but it is also very rewarding and hugely enjoyable.
To succeed you need to be totally professional and inspire confidence in the head teachers you work for. You will need to be bright, enthusiastic, energetic and fully involved in your work, ensuring that your pupils enjoy their day with you.
We have close working relationships with head teachers and are highly respected for our commitment to delivering staff of the highest quality. Capita teachers consistently prove themselves to be highly professional and indeed, many are asked back by name, with hundreds being offered permanent posts every term as a result of their competent track records.
You can achieve a great deal as a Capita teacher. Gain new skills, learn new strategies and broaden your experience, all of which will help you develop your teaching career with more confidence.
Will I be given plenty of work?
As one of the UK’s leading supply teaching agencies and provider of one of the largest numbers of teacher jobs in the UK, work is available every day, whether it is the daily rush for emergency short-term cover, or the opportunity of a long-term placement.
Will I have a choice?
Assignment lengths vary between half-a-day and a full year. You choose the assignments that are right for you.
Will I have to travel far to get to work?
As one of the UK’s largest teacher recruitment specialists, we can offer you more opportunities in more schools in more areas of the country than anyone else, usually in schools local to your home.
What about pay?
You will be paid weekly, direct to your bank account, and pay rates are excellent. Precisely what you earn is dependent on the nature of the position you are filling.
