Tell me about supply...

I'm 10 years in, secondary teacher. I currently do 3 days a week, but honestly can't hack it anymore. The pressure and workload is too much. In particular behaviour at my current school is getting worse and worse, without any intervention. I have good behaviour management but it is exhausting.

I'm very seriously considering supply. We may be moving for Dh job, but even if we stay.

What is it like? Is it hard to have consistent work?

OP - I have been offered 5 jobs without applying for one, in the time that I have been doing supply and it has thrown up two very interesting business opportunities. I only did 6 weeks of supply in the end as I stopped due to flu and then we had more work come in to my own company.
