Are you a Newly Qualified Teacher looking for either permanent, long term or daily supply, then Supreme Education can help you
There are over 25,000 Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs) trained in the UK each year, many of whom can not always find a permanent position in their desired location, from which they can compete induction.
Supreme Education work in partnership with Local Authorities across the UK in order to support and help find work on a day to day and long term supply basis across all settings: Nursery, Primary, Secondary, SEN and Pupil Referral Units (PRUs). We try to assists NQTs to find a position from which they can work towards successfully passing their induction year and gaining valuable experience in school, providing the post is for one term or more and the Headteacher is aware of your induction need at the start of the assignment.
There are many reasons why Supreme Education are the right choice for NQTs:
- We pay very competitive rates for day to day and long term assignments
- Long term supply roles for NQTs will bring the chance to complete your induction
- Schools can take you on permanently with no temp to perm fees if you find a good match
- We pay weekly and have 24/7 access to our systems and jobs
- We work with you to ensure the best match for your skills and the type of school you want to work in
Important information for NQTs on supply assignments
The statutory induction regulations that govern the legal employment of NQTs in state maintained schools state that NQTs that have not yet passed induction can only work for 16mths on day to day supply work from the date of your first assignment after gaining QTS
Any NQT on a contract or assignment of 1 term of more should be subject to statutory induction, even if this is on a supply basis and this is something Supreme Education ensures schools are aware of when putting you into assignments
Many NQTs find their perfect permanent positions after working on several supply assignments in different schools and at Supreme Education we encourage schools to make our NQTs aware of permanent teaching roles that are suitable for them.
"Supreme Education have been a life saver for me! They have managed to get me a constant stream of work since the beginning of the year and I have really enjoyed the experience, They have worked tirelessly on my behalf and has always managed to come through by not only getting me work but getting me relevant work suited to my strengths!
I would certainly recommend joining BESS to any newly qualified and/or lifelong teacher as i believe in them. They have proven to be an extremely good link to schools in my area and have put on interesting and useful CPD sessions.
The team have always been friendly and keen to receive any feedback.
I thank you very much for all your efforts!"

Extending your 16 month limit for supply teaching as an NQT
If you are reaching the 16 month limit for day to day supply teaching as an NQT, then you need to contact the 'Appropriate Body' (AB) in the Local Authority you want to keep working in. If you can show that you have been trying to secure a long term or permanent role from which you can complete induction, but have not been successful, then usually you will be granted up to a further 12 month maximum extension for day to day supply work.
The AB within a Local Authority will usually have their details on the NQT pages for that Local Authority or can be reached by going through the Local Authorities switchboard and asking for the Standards or Schools Human Resource Team.
