There are many different reasons why people start working on supply – some are returning to teaching after time away, some are transitioning to retirement so want less hours, some want to fit work around other personal commitments and some are new to the profession and want to try things out before getting a permanent role. Whatever your reason, supply work has many benefits including:

You can work the hours you want

Being able to flex the hours you work up or down gives you freedom and flexibility. You can decide what days you work depending on your other commitments that week.

Variety is the spice of life

A better work-life balance
