Supply teaching is perfect for an active retirement: Get all the gain for none of the pain!
You may have retired, but what if you are not quite ready to be put out to pasture?! Your teaching skills are still in demand, and the teaching profession is crying out for experienced teachers, just like you!
Workload volume is one of the most cited reasons for full-time teachers leaving the profession, but on supply you 
control where, when and who you work for! As a supply teacher undertaking ad hoc and short-term supply you are not required to take on lesson planning, assessments or report writing, so you can simply continue working in the profession that you love whilst still enjoying your (semi) retirement!
The Benefits:
- Earning some extra money is always a bonus and supply can help with this. You may wonder about your pension and how earning extra may affect things for you. To find out how much you can work or earn, we would advise speaking to Teachers Pension directly or visit www.teacherspensions.co.uk for more information.
- Keeping social is also a consideration when you retire. One of the most fabulous things about supply teaching is the chance to meet new people and have the opportunity to work in different school environments – this can be richly rewarding if you have previously spent many years in one school.
A career in supply teaching can offer many benefits… social contact, keeping your hand in, extra funds… all with the flexibility to work around you… do what you love and love what you do! Have we convinced you yet?
