Secondary jobs in Northumberland

About secondary education in Northumberland

Secondary settings in Northumberland — 22 secondary schools in total — book supply staff throughout the academic year. Subject specialists — particularly in maths, science, English and computing — are in short supply locally and can usually pick up consistent work. Together, Northumberland's schools and nurseries educate around 42,000 children, and that scale keeps secondary cover requests coming in every week of term.

Timetables usually mix your specialism with general cover lessons, plus form time and occasional duty slots. Bookings come from across the city and surrounding areas including Alnwick, Morpeth and Hexham, so you can filter for secondary schools and sixth forms within a comfortable commute.

Schools regularly convert reliable cover teachers into fixed-term and permanent contracts mid-year. Our North East team knows these settings personally, so you get an honest picture of the school or nursery before you accept a booking, plus rates confirmed up front in the app.

Northumberland is England's northernmost county, with around 175 schools and nurseries educating over 42,000 children. The county covers a vast area from Alnwick and Morpeth to Hexham, Berwick-upon-Tweed and Cramlington.

Northumberland's rural character means many schools are smaller community settings where supply staff play a vital role. The county also has larger schools in towns like Morpeth and Cramlington with regular demand for cover.
