Schools are constantly in need of day to day supply teachers and support staff to cover a variety of temporary absences ranging from short term sickness, staff attending INSET or external training days, school trips, sporting events, jury or other public service.

For candidates who prefer flexible working arrangements and don’t particularly want the commitment of a long term position, day to day supply work is the perfect choice.

For some candidates a long term position will provide extra peace of mind and security, perhaps for those with families, mortgages and other long term financial commitments.

These posts often range anywhere between two months to the full academic year and invariably cover maternity leave of absences, teacher sabbaticals, unfilled vacancies or long term staff illness.

If you decide that a long term position is what you are looking for please give us a call and one of our consultants will be happy to discuss your preferences and any positions available.

If it’s a permanent position you are after, Mayflower Education can certainly help. We have developed strong relationships with many schools across the Education sectors including Primary, Secondary, Special Schools and Alternative Education providers who are often looking for permanent staff and our consultants will be only too pleased to discuss such vacancies with you. Sometimes candidates already placed in schools by us are invited to move from being a temporary worker to becoming a permanent member of staff. If a school expresses an interest in taking you on full time whilst working through us in a temporary capacity, you can simply ask the school to call us to facilitate the transition.

We have lots of jobs available in Special Educational Needs in mainstream provision, special schools, referral units (PRU’s) and alternative education providers for Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators (SENCO’s) SEN teachers, learning mentors, one to one tutors and support staff.Special educational needs (SEN) teachers and support staff work with children and young people who have learning difficulties or disabilities. These children find learning more difficult than for most other children of the same age. For this type of work you will need to be able to deal with challenging behaviour and have good organisational skills, including an awareness of best practise classroom management strategies and subject differentiation. If you are looking for a role in special education needs, this work could be perfect for you
