Supply Members' Section
NEU wants to end the domination of commercial supply agencies by promoting and securing more direct hiring by employers for schools seeking supply staff.
In Dorset, supply teachers play a vital role in maintaining educational continuity, particularly during times of staff absence.
Dorset NEU highlights the importance of addressing the challenges faced by supply teachers, whether they are employed through agencies or directly by schools.
Agency supply teachers often navigate a fluctuating work environment, while those directly employed may benefit from greater job security and a stronger connection to their schools.
The NEU advocates for equitable pay and conditions for all supply teachers, emphasising the need for comprehensive support and professional development to ensure that these educators can deliver high-quality teaching and learning experiences for students across the region.
