Supply work with support behind you!
Supply work gives you the freedom to experience different schools, build your skills and choose opportunities that fit around your circumstances.
At Blue Skies Education, we take the time to understand what you are looking for, from the type of setting you enjoy to the days you want to work and where you are happy to travel.
Whether you are an experienced teacher, teaching assistant, SEND professional, Early Career Teacher or looking to build your experience in education, our team will work with you to find opportunities that make sense for you.
What is supply work in education?
Supply work gives teachers and education support staff the flexibility to work in schools and education settings without committing to one permanent position.
Opportunities can range from day-to-day cover and short-term assignments to longer-term placements, depending on what you are looking for and the needs of our partner schools.
You tell us your availability and preferences, and your Blue Skies consultant can match you with suitable opportunities.
