What can a supply teacher expect in Cambridge?
Cambridge's growing population and high staff turnover, partly because of housing costs, mean schools often need reliable supply teachers. Day-to-day work is available across the city, and long-term roles regularly come up for maternity leave and vacancies.
Supply teachers can work in city community colleges, village colleges, primary schools and special schools, so it's a great way to find the right fit before taking a permanent post.
Cycling or using the guided busway makes it easy to reach many schools. Tell us where you live and how you travel, and we'll find work that suits you.
