As the school gates swing open for a brand-new academic year, September brings with it fresh energy, new opportunities, and a chance to hit the reset button. If you’ve been thinking about stepping into supply teaching—or returning after a break—there’s no better time than now.
1. Fresh Starts Mean Fresh Demand
Schools start the year with new timetables, changing staff needs, and unforeseen absences. This means high demand for supply teachers and teaching assistants right from day one. By joining TeachWell in September, you’re getting in at exactly the right time to secure regular work.
2. Try Before You Commit
Not sure if you want to return to the classroom full-time? Supply teaching gives you a flexible way to explore different schools, year groups, and working patterns without the pressure of a long-term contract. It’s a great way to build confidence or find your fit.
3. Get Back Into a Routine
If you’ve taken a break—whether for travel, family, or a career change—September is the ideal time to return. Schools are more open to welcoming fresh faces, and you’ll find it easier to get into a steady rhythm with consistent bookings available.
4. Build Relationships from Day One
Joining in September gives you the advantage of being there from the start of the school year. That means more chances to build relationships with staff, students, and senior leaders—making you more likely to be rebooked or considered for long-term roles.
5. Boost Your CV and Experience
Whether you’re an ECT, a retired teacher looking for part-time work, or a teaching assistant eager to take the next step, supply roles help you build valuable classroom experience. Each assignment gives you a new opportunity to learn, adapt, and shine.
