Job description

South West/ temporary / £150 - 270 per day dependent upon experience

English Teacher – South Wiltshire Supply Team

Location: Salisbury & South Wiltshire

Start Date: September 2026 / ongoing

Contract Type: Day-to-Day Supply / Short-Term / Long-Term

TeacherActive is looking for experienced English Teachers to join my growing South Wiltshire secondary supply team.

I am recruiting specifically for the Salisbury and deeper South Wiltshire area, including Amesbury, Durrington, Tidworth, Wilton, Downton, the Stonehenge corridor and surrounding schools.

I want to hear from confident English specialists who enjoy teaching but would value more control over when and where they work. Opportunities range from individual day-to-day bookings through to short-term and longer-term placements, allowing you to build a working pattern that suits you.

The strongest supply teachers do far more than simply supervise a class. They arrive prepared, establish expectations quickly, engage pupils with the work that has been set and leave the school knowing that learning has continued. If that sounds like the way you work, I would be very interested in speaking with you.

The successful candidate will have:

• QTS with an English Language / Literature specialism
• Experience teaching English to KS3 and KS4
• Strong behaviour management and classroom presence
• The ability to adapt quickly to different schools, pupils and schemes of work
• A professional, dependable approach to short-notice and pre-booked supply

In return, you can expect:

• A dedicated consultant who knows the Wiltshire secondary market
• Flexibility to choose when and where you work
• Day-to-day, short-term and longer-term opportunities
• Guaranteed Payment Scheme *Terms and Conditions apply*
• CPD courses and certificates through our 'My-Progression' brand
• Market-leading rates of pay
• Referral scheme – receive up to £100 when you refer a friend *Terms and Conditions apply*

Our staff are paid on a PAYE basis, so you can rest assured that you're paying the right level of tax and National Insurance, with no admin charges coming out of your hard-earned cash.
