Maths & Science Teacher – Durham Secondary School September 2026 Start | Long-Term Supply | MPS/UPS £32,916 – £51,048

Two strong subjects. One great opportunity.

Teaching Personnel is looking for a teacher with the ability to deliver both Maths and Science across a Durham secondary school from September 2026. This is a long-term supply position that suits a specialist in one subject with solid working knowledge of the other — or someone who is genuinely confident across both.

Schools increasingly value teachers who can cover across departments, and this role reflects that. You'll be a flexible, valued member of staff across two core subject areas, working with students at KS3 and KS4 and contributing to two established departments.

What you'll be doing each day will vary — some days weighted toward Maths, others toward Science — but the school will work with you to ensure the timetable plays to your strengths.

Responsibilities will include:

Planning and delivering lessons in Maths and/or Science across KS3 and KS4, assessing student progress, maintaining high classroom standards, adapting teaching to support students of all abilities, and contributing to departmental and whole-school activities as required.

To apply you'll need:

• QTS or equivalent
• A degree in Maths, a Science discipline, or a related field
• Demonstrable experience or confidence teaching across both subjects
• Strong subject knowledge and a student-centred approach to teaching
• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service

Teaching Personnel offers:

• MPS/UPS salary — £32,916 to £51,048 depending on experience
• Weekly pay via PAYE
• Dedicated consultant support
• Free CPD and professional development
• Opportunities for permanent employment
