As a cover teacher within The Golden Thread Alliance, you will be expected to undertake the full range of duties associated with being a qualified class teacher, which includes being flexible to the varying needs of a school.

The role is open to any teacher on the Main Pay Scale and Unqualified Teachers with experience. You will be paid a day rate of £160.77 if you are a Qualified Teacher or £112.48 per day if you are an Unqualified Teacher with experience.
