• Maintain continuity of learning during the absence of the regular class teacher.
• Communicate professionally with teaching assistants, school leaders and other staff members.

Assignment Details

• Immediate opportunities for flexible day-to-day supply teaching.
• Short-term cover and longer-term placements available after October half term.
• Full-time and part-time opportunities to suit your availability.
• Work across Alvaston, Boulton, Sinfin, Chellaston and surrounding DE24 schools.
• Teaching opportunities across EYFS, KS1 and KS2.
• Opportunities for regular bookings throughout the autumn term and beyond.
