Substitute Teacher

Teaching Personnel are working in partnership with a large, co-educational secondary school that was graded ‘Good’ in all areas during its most recent Ofsted inspection. The school is seeking adaptable and enthusiastic educators to join their team on an ad-hoc basis, providing cover during periods of staff absence across a range of subjects.

This is a vibrant and high-performing secondary school situated within a coastal community, offering a supportive and inclusive environment where students are encouraged to excel both academically and personally. The school delivers a broad and ambitious curriculum designed to meet the needs of all learners, with a strong emphasis on achievement, wellbeing, and character development.

Students benefit from excellent facilities, including modern classrooms, well-equipped subject areas, and extensive sporting and creative provisions. Staff at the school take pride in fostering a culture built on respect, resilience, and responsibility, and in helping young people develop the confidence and independence needed for life beyond education.

The school promotes a strong sense of community and collaboration. Alongside academic study, students are encouraged to take part in a wide range of enrichment opportunities such as music, performing arts, and sport, helping them to develop a well-rounded set of skills and interests.

Teaching Personnel are supporting the school by recruiting reliable and confident educators to assist with classroom cover when required. This opportunity is well suited to Early Career Teachers wishing to gain further experience, experienced teachers seeking flexible working arrangements, or educators looking to maintain their teaching practice while reducing workload.
