Job Description
HireNow is actively seeking a dedicated and adaptable Supply Teacher to join our trusted register for work across the vibrant educational landscape of Swansea SA1. This role is perfect for a qualified teacher who values flexibility, variety, and the opportunity to make a positive impact in different school environments. As a leading local recruitment agency, we specialise in placing education professionals into daily supply, short-term, and long-term positions, acting as the vital link between talented teachers and schools in need of reliable cover. Whether you're looking for work a few days a week or seeking a full-time block booking, we have the network and expertise to match your skills and availability with the right opportunity.
In this Supply Teacher position, you will be responsible for delivering pre-planned lessons across a range of subjects and key stages, maintaining a positive and productive learning environment, and ensuring the welfare and progress of pupils during the absence of their regular class teacher. You will represent both yourself and HireNow with the utmost professionalism. We provide comprehensive support, from a streamlined registration process to a dedicated consultant who will be your single point of contact, understanding your preferences and securing placements that suit you. For those seeking more permanent roles, we also have a pipeline of temp-to-perm opportunities where successful supply work can lead directly to a contracted position within a school.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver engaging and effective lessons in accordance with the school's curriculum and the planning left by the absent teacher, ensuring learning objectives are met.
- Manage classroom behaviour effectively, establishing clear expectations and maintaining a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all pupils.
- Adapt quickly to different school policies, procedures, and classroom dynamics, demonstrating professionalism and resilience in new settings.
- Provide clear and constructive feedback on pupil progress and any notable incidents to the appropriate school staff and/or your HireNow consultant.
- Safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people, adhering strictly to all school and statutory safeguarding policies.
What We're Looking For
- A recognised UK teaching qualification (QTS or equivalent) is essential. We welcome applications from Early Career Teachers (ECTs) and experienced practitioners.
- Proven ability to teach effectively across one or more key stages, with strong subject knowledge and classroom management skills.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build rapport quickly with pupils, staff, and our agency team.
- A flexible, proactive, and professional attitude, with a valid DBS check on the Update Service or willingness to obtain one through HireNow.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I start working as a Supply Teacher in Swansea SA1?
With HireNow, we pride ourselves on a fast-track registration process. Once we have received your CV and confirmed your qualifications, we can often complete compliance checks and have you ready for work within a few days, sometimes even for an immediate start. The speed depends on having your documents (ID, qualifications, DBS) in order. We guide you through every step to minimise delays.
What kind of schools will I be placed in?
We work with a diverse range of educational settings across the Swansea SA1 region. This includes primary schools, secondary schools, academies, faith schools, Welsh-medium schools, and specialist SEN provisions. During registration, we discuss your preferences, experience, and comfort levels to ensure we match you with suitable placements. You can learn more about how we match talent with opportunity in our resource, Master Strategic Talent Sourcing in 2026: The Ultimate Guide.
Do I need my own DBS check?
You must have a valid Enhanced DBS check for working with children. Ideally, this should be registered with the DBS Update Service, which allows us to perform a fast, free status check. If you do not have a current DBS or it's not on the Update Service, HireNow can help you apply for a new one. There may be a cost involved, which we will discuss transparently with you upfront.
How and when do I get paid?
HireNow pays all our supply teachers on a weekly basis. You will submit your timesheet, we verify it with the school, and you are paid directly into your bank account. We believe in transparent, timely payments. For a deeper look at the full benefits of working with our agency, including our payment reliability, visit our page on the Benefits Of Working With Hire Now.
Can supply work lead to a permanent contract?
Absolutely. Many of our supply placements are viewed by schools as extended interviews. If you impress during a long-term supply role, it is very common for the school to offer a permanent contract directly. We actively promote temp-to-perm pathways and are always seeking long-term and permanent roles for our candidates. It's a fantastic way to get your foot in the door at a desirable school.
What support will I receive from HireNow?
From the moment you apply, you are assigned a dedicated education consultant. They will be your main point of contact for finding work, discussing any issues, and providing career advice. We also offer guidance on lesson delivery in unfamiliar settings and can point you towards resources for professional development. For any other questions, our friendly team is always available via our Contact Us page.
