Dave Halliday, Cover Supervisor

“Once you have been in a role for a couple of months, you really are treated as a full time member of staff. I have been very lucky that the placements I have been given are long term, so you have that routine, which works well for me. If I could give advice to someone looking to work on supply, it’s that you’re never too old to learn. Approach it with an open mind and embrace the culture.”

Jamilla, Teacher at Lime Trust

“Seeing the children progress throughout the year is an amazing feeling within you, that’s the reason why you want to be a teacher. I have the support here and I have the opportunity to succeed and go further”.
