Supply teaching can be a very rewarding job. If you have qualified as a teacher and looking for work quickly or if you have been employed as a full time teacher and are looking for something different then I would recommend trying supply teaching.

Supply teacher jobs vary, some may involve you working in the same school for a number of weeks whereas others may require you to work at a different school every day. As a supply teacher you will usually get paid more than a full time employed teacher, meaning that you may only need to work 3 or 4 days a week to make your salary up to that of what you would have earned in a permanent position. If you find your current teaching job stressful, supply teaching may be just the break you need allowing you to work with a variety of pupils and often not having to worry about the planning / marking / reports aspect.
