Supply teachers and support staff

Supply

If you are looking for supply teaching roles we would advise that you register with an agency within Hampshire or you contact with a school directly to discuss any opportunities.

Supply and Early Career Teachers

Short-term supply (less than a calendar term) can sometimes prove good experience for you but is often unable to provide the consistent support needed during Induction. Any time spent on short-term supply cannot count towards an Induction period.

If the supply placement is planned for a term or more (even part-time) and involves teaching the same class(es), Induction can and should commence when you begin work at the school. The supply could be via an agency or through your own contact with individual schools. If the placement involves only day-to-day cover for absent colleagues or PPA cover, this is not suitable for Induction and will not count towards your Induction period.

The 'five-year' rule: If you have not yet completed Induction, you can only carry out short-term supply teaching for up to five years after the date of your QTS. After this date, if you wish to continue to teaching, you will need to have completed Induction, or take up a post where you can start or continue Induction.
