Secondary Teachers
First Class Supply and Training have built and maintained an excellent reputation across the north east for fulfilling the needs of local secondary schools, and for ensuring our secondary teachers secure work which is suitable for both their needs and experience.
All of our secondary supply teachers have a registration appointment, not only to complete the vetting process and requirements to work within UK schools, but to listen to you and understand how you would like us to support you in your search for teaching work. It is important to us that all our teachers feel confident, effective, and valued whilst on assignments.
We have work available for subject specialists in all subject areas, and also have an ongoing need for secondary teachers to work on a general cover basis within secondary and middle schools.
Opportunities are also available to work within a range of special needs schools and units. You may be an experienced special needs teacher, be a qualified secondary teacher with a desire to gain SEN experience, or have other relevant knowledge or experience of working with SEN pupils. We can offer placements to work with pupils with a range of special educational needs including: EBD – emotional and behavioural difficulties, MLD – moderate learning difficulties, PMLD – profound and multiple learning difficulties, AUT – autism, PH – physically handicapped, HI – hearing impaired, VI – visually impaired, and EAL – English as an additional language.
We offer secondary supply teaching opportunities for NQT’s, and experienced teachers throughout the scale at M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, and threshold. We are also keen to hear from you if you are currently completing a PGCE course, as we will be able to support you in how best to move forwards at the end of your course. We have established links with a number of key education personnel in the north east who are available to talk to you about any concerns or advice you may need.
As a leading local agency, we have the flexibility to pay to scale, and always endeavour to ensure that our secondary supply teachers are recognized and rewarded for their experience and skills. Your individual pay rate will be discussed at your registration appointment, and we are confident that you will find this more competitive than most other local and national agencies!
First Class offer secondary supply teaching vacancies to suit all your needs. Maybe you are looking for full time or part time work, day to day, short term, or long term work. If you are looking for permanent work, it is not uncommon for a school to offer you a contract or permanent role after you have completed a period of supply work. For this we will not charge a fee to the school, something which most other agencies use as a barrier to prevent you from accepting permanent employment. We strive to look after our secondary teachers and will support you in any way we can if you are hoping to find permanent work.
