Can Reeson Education help me become a qualified teacher?

• If you are a qualified teacher returning to teaching, we can assist you to transition back into the classroom.

• If you are an Early Career Teacher (ECT), we can help secure a suitable induction placement.

• If you trained overseas, we can assist you in applying for QTS.

​

Can you help me to apply for a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) certificate?

All staff must hold a valid Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) certificate and be registered with the DBS Update Service. We can support you with new applications and registration where needed.

​

How does supply work?

Supply bookings can vary from daily cover to longer term block bookings.

Daily cover is usually linked to the management of staff absence in a school and is usually arranged the day before or the morning of the booking. It requires a flexible and adaptable approach as you may be covering several classes in the one day.

Block bookings or longer term supply usually necessitates minimum prior experience in the particular subject or year group. It will involve returning to the same school for whatever the set period is, and it may involve planning, marking and wider school responsibilities.

All the details of a booking will be discussed in full prior to you choosing whether you wish to accept the placement.

We also support candidates seeking permanent contracts directly with schools.

​

Where can I work?

We offer opportunities across London, the Home Counties, Hampshire, the North West and Yorkshire. We work with:

• Primary schools

• Secondary schools

• Special educational needs settings

How do I register?

The quickest way is to complete our online registration form.

Once we receive your details, we’ll discuss suitable opportunities with you and talk you through the registration process, to carry out all required checks including right to work verification, criminal records checks, verification of qualifications and obtaining references.

​

How much will I be paid?
