FAQs about Supply work Will I always get a call in the morning or can I get booked in advance? Although we do require teachers and support staff to cover emergency absences, many of our schools book in advance and, once you are established in schools, many will request you back up to a week in advance. If you are called with a booking in the morning we will contact you as early as possible so please be up and ready from 7 am. Does supply work mean daily cover? In many cases you will be booked for one day at a school, but often the school will need cover for a week or more. Will I have to prepare work for the classes? We advise all our teachers to have back-up work however, in most cases the school will provide you with lesson plans or guidance of what to teach. It is essential that you teach the work you have been set by the school. How do I get lots of work as a supply teacher/support staff? Have your phone on loud and answer when we call. If this isn’t always possible then have an answer phone for when you are unable to pick up the phone.
