Secondary jobs in Liverpool

About secondary education in Liverpool

Liverpool is home to 48 secondary schools, and secondary staffing here has its own rhythm. Secondary cover tends to be booked further in advance than primary, with blocks of several days or full half-terms common. Together, Liverpool's schools and nurseries educate around 95,000 children, and that scale keeps secondary cover requests coming in every week of term.

Expect five lessons a day across different year groups, with planning provided by the department for most cover work. Bookings come from across the city and surrounding areas including City Centre, Wavertree and Aigburth, so you can filter for secondary schools and sixth forms within a comfortable commute.

Longer placements often include responsibility for coursework or intervention groups, which strengthens applications for permanent posts. Because our consultants are based in the North West, we can match you to settings that fit your travel, experience and preferred age range rather than filling any gap that appears.

Liverpool has a rich educational heritage, with over 420 schools and nurseries educating approximately 95,000 children. The city's education sector includes a mix of local authority schools, Catholic schools and multi-academy trusts.

From Wavertree and Aigburth to West Derby and the city centre, Liverpool's school communities are vibrant and welcoming. The city has strong demand for nursery practitioners, primary teachers and SEN specialists.
