Job description

Are you a qualified teacher looking for regular supply work without the planning, marking and workload that comes with a permanent teaching role?

Quokka Education is looking for qualified teachers to work with secondary schools across Gosport, Fareham and the surrounding areas.

Want regular work? We can keep you busy for most of the school year, even in September!

Want flexibility? You're in control. We offer the bookings, and you choose the days and schools that work for you.

Why work with Quokka Education?

We're a small, independent, local education recruitment agency, and we take a slightly different approach to supply teaching.

We believe good teachers deserve good pay, proper preparation and an agency that genuinely supports them.

Our daily supply rates:

• ECTs – £150 per day
• Experienced qualified teachers – £170 per day

These rates are for general daily supply, with no planning, marking or additional responsibilities.

All pay is through PAYE – no umbrella companies or hidden deductions.

We don't just send you into a school and hope for the best.

Wherever possible, we arrange induction and taster days so you can get a feel for the school before accepting regular bookings.

We'll also make sure you're familiar with the school's behaviour policies, systems and expectations before your first day.

What you'll get:

• Regular supply opportunities throughout the school year
• The flexibility to choose when and where you work
• Competitive daily rates paid through PAYE
• Free training and online CPD
• Induction and taster days wherever possible
• Proper preparation before your first booking
• Ongoing support from a friendly, local agency

The Role

You’ll typically work between 8am and 3pm, delivering pre-set work across secondary school classes.

There’s no expectation to take work home with you. When the school day finishes, your work is done.

Whether you’re looking for two days a week or want to stay busy throughout the week, we’ll work around your availability.

We offer the work. You choose what works for you.

Specific school details can be provided on request.

Who we’re looking for

• Hold QTS, QTLS or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification
• Are confident working in a secondary school environment
• Are adaptable, reliable and happy to cover subjects outside their specialism
• Want regular classroom work with a better work-life balance
• Care about making a positive difference to the schools and pupils they support
