Latest Jobs in UK Schools

I am currently employed medium to long term as a supply teacher just outside of Leeds, working for Supply Desk.

Before leaving Australia to come to England for work, I was told I was going to be working as a supply teacher in and around Leeds, working on a fairly day-to-day basis. However, about a week prior to my move, I got a call from Neil saying that he’d been able to sell me on a longer term placement in a local primary school.

Working less as a supply teacher, and more as a permanent classroom teacher has definitely been beneficial for me as a teacher, as I’ve been able to see the ins and outs of an English school and classroom, and it’s allowed me to gain more of a routine from day-to-day.

On top of finding me a job longer term, Neil, along with Ben – also from Supply Desk – met me with a cheery smile, upon my arrival at Manchester airport. The boys drove me back to a hotel, and spoke to me about how things may look over the next week, as I look to get myself settled into work. Over the next few days, Neil assisted me in obtaining a UK phone number, and has been very accommodating in helping me get my bank account sorted out, which hasn’t been as easy a task as we may have hoped.

I am constantly getting texts and phone calls from both Neil and Ben, checking on how things are going at my school, ensuring that everything is running smoothly, and above all, that my safety and best interests are paramount above all else.

I would highly recommend the service that has been provided to me by anyone looking for supply work. Neil and the team at Supply Desk in Leeds have been incredibly helpful and happy the whole way through the process.

Clare Hooton and her team at Supply Desk Sheffield were a tremendous help in transitioning to the UK from Australia. I first worked as a supply teacher in 2010, and within a couple weeks they had found me a year long maternity cover position in English. On my return to teaching in the UK in 2016 I was provided with supply work each day and within a week I received a semester long block in Geography. The GPS contract provided me with peace of mind, and at each step of the way I found Supply Desk highly professional and extremely helpful.
