SEN teacher supply wage

[Piixxiiee]

Looking at teaching with a supply agency or directly with a Special needs school. Haven't taught for 8 years so expecting a big learning curve! But just wondered if anyone knew the salary?

Usually about £120 a day before deductions.

When we did supply it was £115 a day after tax and the like.
I would expect a more experienced teacher who's fully qualified to get a higher rate.
The ones who's in my school frequently gets paid £135 per day after tax.

It sounds like a lot, but not really when the teachers don't get paid a penny over the holidays and don't have a guaranteed place to work every day

It will depend on your experience and location. It’s around £100-£120 where I am.

When I started teaching it was easy to work out your supply rate as each day was 1/195th of your salary point. A morning was usually paid at 55% of that and the afternoon at 45%.

That was before the advent of agencies though, so the pay is often lower as they take their cut.

Works out as about £400 a week after deductions.

Which sucks, as that's basically M2 pay scale.
Then Agian, no planning, marking or headaches of dealing with leadership who are either up them selves and petty or just incompetent

Depending where in the country you are, and if you have to go through agencies, you might get paid less than M1 with no access to TPS. It's shit! I have even had this on long term with the same expectation of staff meetings, after school clubs etc.

I'm a SEN supply teacher. Daily rate is supposed to be 120 a day but I have never been paid that. It is the same rate as the mainstream teachers too. Instead, schools ask you to come in as a TA, no matter your experience. I am paid 60 for a full day as a TA and the work isn't particularly reliable. I am looking for something else now.

I'm a supply teacher and I get paid 110-130 depending on which agency I'm working for. If I do a day's hlta (which I only do very reluctantly as I feel I'm not being paid my worth as it's the same as my usual job for half the pay. No wonder schools are asking for hlta more and more than for fully qualified teachers ) then I get 60. No marking, planning or staff meetings but also no in-service training unless I pay for it myself. I am looking for a more reliable and predictable role but it's been 8 years since my last long-term post so my experience and all my references are out of date so I feel a bit stuck.

No idea as not my field. But these rates do seem low considering the skills you presumably need. In most industries short term/contracting work would be paid a fair bit more than the pro rata annual salary. Are there a lot of teachers wanting to just do supply teaching?

Thanks everyone, discussing covering a maternity leave now so will be longer term but of course they're trying to get me as cheap as possible and as I've been out of teaching a while I understand but also dont want to unsell myself as I taught for 6 years previously. Thanks.
