The NASUWT has partnered with The Supply Register to promote an ethical alternative for the employment of supply teachers.

Supply teachers play a vital role in ensuring the highest standards of education for all children and young people. However, the way in which the supply agency market has operated has often been to the detriment of schools and supply teachers. The new partnership aims to deliver a positive change for the benefit of supply teachers and schools.

The Supply Register and the NASUWT are committed to ending the cycle where supply teachers get less, schools pay more and supply agencies make excessive profits.

Information for supply teachers

How much will I be paid?

The Supply Register approach to pay would see supply teachers guaranteed pay of no less than 80% via their chosen agency panel, 90% for day-to-day assignments via The Supply Register and 100% for medium to long-term assignments via The Supply Register. The daily rates above are based on the current supply teacher daily rates published annually by the NASUWT.

Supply teachers can also expect to access pay progression up to Upper Pay Scale 1 (UPS1) within six years of working with The Supply Register.

Access to a pension

Whilst recognising the current arrangements which exclude supply teachers working through agencies from paying into the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (TPS), The Supply Register and the NASUWT are committed to working together to secure access to the Teachers’ Pension Scheme.

Guaranteed CPD

The Supply Register will develop free continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities for all supply teachers working through The Supply Register.
