Due to maintenance, the following systems will be unavailable from 11.45am on Tuesday 24 December until 8.00am on Thursday 2 January: our online Council Tax, business rates and housing benefit services, and our welfare assistance form. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Supply teacher services

We operate primary school supply teacher pools to help you find work in our schools.

Primary school supply teacher work

Join our primary school supply teacher register which helps primary schools recruit teachers to cover short term absences or staff shortages. Contact Durham Supply Teaching Partnership for an application pack.

Secondary school supply teacher work

Because secondary school teaching is organised around subject areas we do not run a secondary school supply pool. Instead you should contact one of the independent agencies in the area.

Latest teaching vacancies

Permanent teaching posts are advertised on our current job vacancies and apprenticeships page.
