September Sorted: Connecting Educators, Schools, And Nurseries for Autumn 2025

For educators, headteachers, and nursery managers, summertime is your time.

It belongs to you.

You’ve worked all year long, and summer is your proper break to unwind, recharge, and have fun. But if you’re a supply educator, school, or nursery, you can’t.

You can’t enjoy the summer while you’re stressing about when your next supply teacher role and pay cheque are coming. You can’t enjoy the summer when you have a classroom or nursery full of bright minds but no teacher.

You can’t unwind, recharge, and have fun this summer until your September’s sorted. 

It will be with Humly.

Let Humly sort your autumn, while you enjoy your summer.

Our September Sorted campaign is about connecting great educators with nursery roles, primary school vacancies and secondary school teaching jobs for the autumn – right now.  We’re taking the stress out of securing September teaching jobs for both supply educators and the schools and nurseries who need them.

We’ll help you find a teaching job early. We’ll help you find the right teacher early.

We’ll be in September mode, so your summer can be yours again.

Here’s how.

Educators Looking for Permanent or Long-Term Teaching Placements

We will help you book your September role – now.

Not knowing when your next job is coming is just about the worst feeling a supply educator deals with. So you don’t want six weeks of stress ruining your summer. Not when you can secure a school or nursery role in advance.

About 40k full-time educators turn in their notices by May 31. Your September teaching jobs are out there. 

And Humly’s digital marketplace empowers you to see every single long-term or permanent role the moment they become available. And you’ll see them the second you apply to Humly.

Our App will notify you about every role that matches your preferences. But you’ll also be able to search for every available supply teacher role (outside your top preferences) – anytime.

This gives you all the power to find, choose, and book the September teaching jobs that are best for you. And we can prove it.

Last September, Humly helped place 321 supply educators in permanent or long-term teaching placements. We’ll place more this year. 

And we can help place you.

Educators Looking for Short-Term September Work

Securing September teaching jobs can be the toughest for you. 

Schools and nurseries like to begin the year with as much certainty as possible. They prioritise long-term and permanent solutions over great educators who work on a short-term basis.

But Humly can still help you book your September role.

Our digital marketplace empowers you to see every supply teacher role the instant it’s available. You won’t waste time waiting for morning work calls. Or stress about saying yes to jobs you don’t want.

You’ll always be able to find, choose, and book the best supply teacher role for you anytime. And every time.

And now we offer guaranteed pay to help you get ready for September.

With Humly Express Jobs, you have more control of your career than ever before. These guaranteed pay opportunities are perfect for supply educators who absolutely want to work on a given day in September and beyond.

We pay you to be on call. We guarantee you a full-day rate for your availability. You might work a full day. Or a half day. Or not at all.

We pay you regardless.

And we offer about 250 Express Jobs every month throughout the UK.

For Headteachers and Nursery Managers

40k full-time educators will leave their roles by May 31. That’s not a typo — that’s a crisis. 

And it’s only part of the story.

Over the past 12 years, the UK has missed its secondary recruitment targets 11 times. And while the primary targets have fared better, they’ve still come up short five times in the last nine years.

So, if you’re a headteacher or nursery manager, you probably feel that strain. And while you don’t have 40k positions to fill, finding the right person to fill your key nursery opening, primary school vacancy, or secondary school teaching job is just as important.

Only there just aren’t enough full-time, qualified educators to go around.

Humly can help you get ready for September.
