Description

Retired from teaching but not ready to leave the classroom behind?

TeachWell is looking for experienced retired teachers who would like to return to the classroom on a flexible supply basis, supporting primary schools and specialist settings.

Supply teaching is an ideal way to continue doing the part of teaching you enjoy, while having greater control over when and how often you work.

A Flexible Way to Keep Teaching

Whether you’d like to work one day a week, a few days each month or more regularly, we’ll work around your availability.

As a Supply Teacher with TeachWell, you can:

  • Choose when you’re available to work
  • Enjoy the classroom without a permanent teaching commitment
  • Put your years of experience to good use
  • Work in a variety of primary and specialist settings
  • Take on short-term and day-to-day supply assignments
  • Keep making a difference to pupils while maintaining your retirement lifestyle

What We’re Looking For

We’re interested in hearing from qualified teachers who have stepped away from permanent teaching but would still enjoy spending time in the classroom.

Your experience, classroom knowledge and ability to confidently step into a school environment can make you an invaluable addition to our supply team.

You will need to hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and have suitable previous teaching experience.
