Are you an ECT looking for competitive rates of pay?

If the answer is 'Yes' to any of the above questions, then we would love to hear from you.

With over 6 years’ experience and having built great relationships with all the secondary schools in the Kent area, I can confirm that in the academic years 23/24 & 24/25 we will continue to have a high volume of work coming in. I can also confirm that we have an exceptional track record of placing ECTs in their 1st or 2nd assignments and very often in permanent roles.

Historically, the cover requirements in the Kent area tend to be very high, whether that be on a day-to-day supply basis or on a long-term basis to cover sickness/maternity etc. This can prove to be a great opportunity for ECTs to gain experience, get paid and find the type of school that they wish to work in.

We are consistently getting a high demand for all subject areas, including Maths, English, Science, PE, Music, DT, Languages, Humanities, Music and more…

We can also ensure that we are offering consistent, paid work to our teachers!

We have many existing relationships and partnerships with schools in the Hastings area and the need to support our schools will once again be greater than ever.

Hays are looking for ECTs who are willing to work on a flexible basis; this opportunity would be perfect for anybody who wants to gain valuable experience in preparation for the next academic year or is looking to pick up an extra day of supply when they can. Are you looking for flexible work? Did you want to be in the classroom but also have a role that fits around your lifestyle? Are you looking to try different-sized schools and increase your experience in different educational settings?

You can work as little or as often as you like, and working supply means that you can have a say in what schools you would like to go to.

We offer long-term, contract and permanent work as well as day-to-day. Also, we can provide CV writing and interview tips to help you take that next step on the career ladder. However, if this doesn’t apply to you, but you are aware of someone else, by referring them to us you can earn £350 in high street shopping vouchers.

What you'll need to succeed

To register with Hays, you must be passionate and driven, with a strong desire to be a successful teacher. To register as a teacher, you must meet the core criteria below. A minimum of 2 months' teaching experience in the past 4 years (this can include university placements), you have the right to work in the UK, and you must have a PGCE, QTS or QTLS. If you don't have a PGCE, QTS, QTLS or recent teaching experience, you can register as a Teaching Assistant or cover supervisor, provided you have worked with children for 1 month in the past 4 years.

We welcome applicants who are currently working for other agencies.

What you'll get in return

As a Hays Supply Teacher, you will receive a generous rate of pay (dependent on experience). Other benefits include holiday pay and access to our exclusive e-learning platform, where you can complete safeguarding and other courses to aid in your development.
