Managing student behaviour in line with school policies
Providing brief feedback to subject teachers and senior staff
Supporting school routines such as break duties and transitions
Acting as a positive role model for students throughout the school day
Who We're Looking For:
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS/QTLS) OR substantial classroom experience in a teaching role
Strong subject knowledge and ability to adapt across different subjects when required
Excellent classroom and behaviour management skills
Confident communicator with a calm and professional approach
Reliable, flexible, and committed to supporting student learning
An interest in long-term opportunities or future permanent roles
What You'll Gain:
Full-time, flexible teaching role with variety and structure
Competitive daily pay (paid weekly)
Long-term placements with potential for permanent contracts
Access to 2,500+ CPD courses including safeguarding, subject updates, and SEND
Support from an experienced consultant who understands your career goals
Opportunity to gain exposure to multiple schools or commit to a single long-term placement
