Job description

Science Teachers in Bristol – Flexible Work with Fast Progression to Long Term Role

Pay: £130–£150 per day for day to day, £160–£200 for long term
Location: Secondary schools across Bristol
Employment type: Day-to-day supply with strong potential for long-term roles

If you’re a qualified Science Teacher exploring your next step in Bristol, supply offers a straightforward way to work flexibly doing ad hoc work, while networking, earning, and finding a school that genuinely suits you. You’ll begin by supporting local schools with day-to-day, short-notice cover, usually with planning already in place. It’s a simple, reliable way to stay in the classroom while keeping full control of your week.

Because Science is consistently in demand, these bookings often move quickly into longer-term roles. Many teachers step into ongoing Science posts within weeks, and sometimes immediately once cleared. Your subject knowledge, combined with our local relationships, puts you in a strong position from day one.

• Teach KS3 and KS4 Science
• Follow existing planning to keep lessons running smoothly (until you find a long-term planning and marking role)
• Support pupils through both practical and theory content
• Adapt confidently to different school environments
• Choose the days that work for you
