Daily Supply

This is the option the majority of candidates choose to pursue initially. This is when we place a candidate in one of our provisions to cover absence from school due to illness or other commitments. The benefits of daily work are that it gives you the flexibility to experience many schools and a variety of locations. This will in turn give you a good taste as to what school or year group you prefer should you be offered a long term position.

Short-term Supply

This is a placement where a candidate can work up to 6 weeks at a selected provision. This allows you to gain greater knowledge and take on more responsibility of what a permanent staff member would do on a day to day basis. Duties for candidates taking on a short term contract would be more than someone on daily supply and would be responsible for planning work and carrying out the duties of a permanent employee.

Long-term Supply

This is a contract for more than half a term. Whether you are a teaching assistant or a teacher, long term supply allows you to take more responsibility for the position you are fulfilling. You will be a large part of the life of the school.

Permanent Work

Should you be offered a permanent contract through Enlighten Supply Pool, this would mean that some schools would recruit you directly from Enlighten Supply Pool.

"I have worked with Enlighten Supply Pool since 2015. It is my soul Teaching Recruitment Agency and it will be forever. Jayson, the director manager is very professional and reliable individual. He will do his best to find the teaching role you ask for. Obviously, he looks for professionalism, competence, determination and love for teaching. Enlighten Supply Pool marked my whole UK teaching experience. I have been given different roles in diverse schools, I have been immensely pleased by his understanding, help and promptitude to find amazing teaching opportunities. I did try to work with other agencies and I must admit I was so put down and lied to, especially by Protocol Education. They ask you to wait weeks on end for their recruitment process. Jayson will send you to work straight away! Congratulations Jayson for being such an amazing manager. A big thank from me!"

Jason has been a very supportive, friendly, understanding person and always very professional. Another member of their team Labi is also very supportive and professional. I have enjoyed every bit of the experience I have gained from this teaching job. My joy is unquantifiable. Thank you so much for your support always, it means a lot."

"Enlighten Supply are such a lovely agency - My consultant Jayson has been very accommodating since I have started working here and has been a pleasure to work with! The agency are attentive to your needs and are able to give you flexible work, this is the first agency I have worked at and it definitely did not disappoint.
