Unqualified Teacher

We are looking for enthusiastic individuals to supervise classes during the short term absence of class teachers within secondary schools. The role will include, assisting pupils in relevant activities and managing pupil behaviour in the classroom in line with the school policy and procedures. This post may particularly suit anyone who, in the future, is planning to undertake teacher training.

For a standard supply job, you'll need to have Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), but there are opportunities for unqualified teachers too. You can work in secondary schools as a cover supervisor, taking the place of the usual class teacher in their absence and gain vital experience to help enhance your skills in this role. Secondary schools are willing to utilise unqualified Teachers providing you have relevant/transferable skills and experience, or recently graduated and show commitment to becoming a teacher.

The role does not require any active teaching, marking or planning. Depending on which school you are working in, duties may include:

  • supervising work that has been set in accordance with the school policy
  • managing the behaviour of pupils while they are undertaking this work to ensure a constructive environment
  • responding to any questions from pupils about process and procedures
  • dealing with any immediate problems or emergencies according to the school's policies and procedures
  • collecting any completed work after the lesson and returning it to the appropriate teacher
  • reporting back as appropriate using the school's agreed referral procedures on the behaviour of pupils during the class, and any issues arising

So what are the benefits of working in schools through Teaching Personnel?

  • Choice and Variety - giving you a range of roles and job opportunities to choose from
  • Teaching Personnel's CPD Academy - Your Continuous Professional Development
  • Pay - Weekly pay based on your skills, experience, flexibility and availability
  • myTP - Digital services that make your work admin and communication simple
  • Safe Working Practice - ensuring your reputation is protected
  • Excellence in Education Awards - recognising the positive impact you deliver in schools
  • TP Tokens - supporting national children and education charities through your direction
  • Opportunity for graduates to explore our Future Teacher Programme with partner schools
  • Opportunity to work across the Secondary, SEN and Primary Sectors
  • Dedicated consultant to support and represent you

The opportunity exists to work on adhoc basis on the days that you are available. You may find that you build an excellent working relationship with a few select schools, or perhaps enjoy working in a different school each day. There is also scope for you to become a permanent fixture within a school should you continue to provide an excellent service and wish to commit to the school.

Whether you are looking for 1 day a week or 5, we would like to speak with you about opportunities in the area.
