There’s no single reason that makes teachers choose relief teaching.
- It’s ideal for gaining exposure to different schools, systems and age ranges to strengthen your CV.
- It can help to build your confidence if you’ve retrained for a different age range prior to taking on a permanent post, if you’re returning to teaching after a career break or you simply want to experience new schools in an area which you’ve relocated to.
- It’s also advantageous if you’ve taken early retirement but would still like to teach a few days a week, or even if you fancy combining part-time teaching with family commitments.
