The Opportunity

Let’s be honest: full-time teaching isn't for everyone right now. If you love being in front of a class but want to leave the data tracking, endless meetings, and Sunday-night planning behind, supply teaching with Philosophy Education is your solution. We are currently partnering with a huge variety of schools across Bromley and Croydon - from quiet village-style primaries to energetic, urban academies. You tell us when you’re free, and we find you the work.

Key Responsibilities:

• Seamless Delivery: Execute pre-set lesson plans with precision, ensuring that learning objectives are met even in the absence of the permanent teacher.
• Positive Climate: Establish immediate authority and rapport using positive behaviour management strategies aligned with school policy.
• Marking & Feedback: Complete all marking for the day’s work, providing constructive feedback that allows the class teacher to transition back seamlessly.
• Safeguarding: Maintain a vigilant approach to pupil welfare, adhering strictly to the safeguarding and "Keeping Children Safe in Education" protocols of each setting.

Person Specification:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or UK-based teaching experienced required.
• Proven ability to "hit the ground running" in new environments.
• Excellent communication skills and a professional demeanour when representing the agency.
