How much can Supply Teachers earn?

[noskilled]

I know how much the actual teacher often gets (although would love to hear experience v day rate) but the companies that supply the teachers, how much do they charge the school?

For example, DH is SLT in Maths and has been paid £175-200 but I assume the company must charge more than this...but how much more?

We pay £220-£250, but that's primary, god knows what secondary maths charge!

Not nearly enough!!

I’m bit puzzled - question on thread title seems different to question in post.
Agents need to earn a living and there are costs to agency in, for example, annual safeguarding course, DBS checks, National Insurance contributions.

In regards to earning you get paid to (main)scale after 12 weeks in post.

Day to day can be as low as £75 a day but usually £130-150.

To earn more you need to be in a long term post …. so why leave a permanent post?

I work most days. Average salary last 8 years £18,000.

@Dendron123 , just out of interest, why do you do it?! If you work most days but only get £18k per year with no pension or sick pay, why is it worth doing? Why not just get a part-time position for the same money with way more benefits and security? Genuinely curious.

Hi. Very complicated family situation - sometimes need to take time out. Also, love being in the classroom, hate bureaucracy.

Only recently worked out low pay. I might go into something else eventually.

You’ve misunderstood. I don’t care how much the agent who finds the teachers earns, I care what the school pays the agent to cover all costs.

Because you can put yourself out to supply and just go via self employed route. DH is doing this for £250 a day. But I think they charge more.

Hi. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I think agencies keep charges secret but there is some negotiation with schools who are naturally keen to pay as little as possible.

Your husband could try asking Cover Managers at the schools he works in.
