General Cover Teacher

General Cover Teacher - Sunderland Secondary Schools Competitive Daily Rates, Flexible, ASAP Start

Teaching Personnel is recruiting a qualified teacher for general cover across secondary schools in Sunderland, with work available immediately. This is a flexible role open to teachers across all subjects - if you hold QTS and you're confident managing a secondary classroom, we'd like to hear from you.

It's a role that works well for experienced teachers who want to stay in the classroom without the full demands of a permanent post, and for those who want variety across different schools and year groups rather than the same timetable week in, week out. Day-to-day and longer-term bookings are both available depending on your preference.

For those who want financial predictability alongside flexibility, Teaching Personnel's Guaranteed Work Scheme ensures a reliable weekly income regardless of bookings.

What the role involves:

• Covering planned and unplanned absences across Sunderland secondary schools
• Delivering pre-set lessons or using your initiative when required
• Managing classrooms confidently across a range of subjects and year groups
• Upholding safeguarding responsibilities in every setting

To be considered:

• QTS or equivalent - essential
• Experience teaching in UK secondary schools
• Confident and adaptable across different classroom environments
• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service or willingness to obtain one

What Teaching Personnel offers:

• Competitive daily rates paid weekly via PAYE
• Guaranteed Work Scheme for financial stability
• Flexible working - day-to-day or longer-term bookings available
• Free CPD and professional development
• Dedicated consultant support
• Routes into long-term and permanent positions
