Are you a confident Science Supply Teacher looking for flexible work across a range of Secondary Schools?

Can you effectively manage classrooms, engage students and ensure learning continues in the absence of the regular teacher?

Would you like the opportunity to gain experience in a variety of school settings while enjoying the flexibility that supply teaching provides?

TeacherActive is strengthening its local secondary supply team and I am looking for Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Combined Science specialists who can support schools across Salisbury, Amesbury, Durrington, Tidworth, Wilton, Downton, Stonehenge and the wider South Wiltshire area.

I am keen to build a core team of reliable Science teachers whom I can get to know properly and introduce to schools repeatedly, rather than simply matching people to isolated vacancies. Work can include day-to-day absence cover, pre-booked supply, short-term departmental support and longer-term subject assignments.

If you are an experienced classroom practitioner who can make scientific concepts accessible, maintain a purposeful classroom and confidently pick up another teacher's planning when required, this could be an excellent way to gain flexibility without stepping away from teaching.

The successful candidate will have:

QTS with a Science specialism – Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Combined Science
Experience teaching Science to KS3 and KS4
Strong subject knowledge and classroom management
Confidence delivering theory and, where appropriate, safe practical learning
Flexibility and reliability when working across different school environments
In return, you can expect:

A dedicated consultant who knows the Wiltshire secondary market
Flexibility to choose when and where you work
Day-to-day, short-term and longer-term opportunities
Guaranteed Payment Scheme *Terms and Conditions apply*
CPD courses and certificates through our 'My-Progression' brand
Market-leading rates of pay
Referral scheme – receive up to £100 when you refer a friend *Terms and Conditions apply*
Our staff are paid on a PAYE basis, so you can rest assured that you're paying the right level of tax and National Insurance, with no admin charges coming out of your hard-earned cash.

If you are interested, click 'APPLY NOW' and I will be in touch to discuss your experience, availability and the South Wiltshire locations that work for you.
