Not every teacher wants the same thing - and that's exactly why supply teaching works.
Whether you're looking for the freedom of day-to-day supply or the stability of a longer-term role, we're working with Secondary schools across Nottinghamshire that need great teachers like you.
No two weeks have to look the same (unless you want them to).
Who is this for?
Most teachers.
- Early Career Teachers building confidence
- Experienced teachers wanting flexibility
- Teachers exploring different schools
- Teachers returning after a break
If you can inspire young people and adapt to new classrooms, we want to hear from you.

English, Maths, Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics), History, Geography, RE, MFL (French, Spanish, German), PE, Art & Design, Music, Drama, Design & Technology, Computing / ICT, Business Studies and more.
What you can expect
- Work daily supply or long-term placements - your choice
- Opportunities across a variety of Nottinghamshire secondary schools
- Flexibility that fits around your life
- Support to help you find the right school and role
If you're ready for teaching that works around you - rather than the other way round - this could be the perfect next step.

Aperçu — adapté à Tradewind Recruitment
Dear Hiring Manager,
Tradewind Recruitment's Secondary Supply Teacher programme across Nottinghamshire is precisely the kind of flexible, school-facing role I have been seeking. With QTS and a specialism in Science, I am confident in delivering KS3 and KS4 lessons at short notice while maintaining strong behaviour management across unfamiliar classrooms — two qualities your advert identifies as central to success in supply teaching.
My background in secondary education includes day-to-day supply placements across multiple schools, where I developed the adaptability to pick up schemes of work quickly and build immediate rapport with new classes. I have completed CPD in safeguarding and differentiation, and I am comfortable working across Biology, Chemistry, and Physics at both Key Stages.
