Types of placement

If you’re new to working with an education agency, you may not be familiar with the different types of placements you can choose to work in. Here are the types of placements that we can help you to secure in a schools near you:

Daily Supply

Typically, schools will need to hire staff on daily supply for essential cover when sickness strikes or emergencies occur. Daily supply can range from covering 1 day, to working in that placement for a number of days (depending on the precise situation). 


Long-Term

Any placement longer than 6 weeks is classed as a long-term role. This kind of placement usually comes about when a school needs to get cover for long-term sickness or parental leave, or if they are considering hiring for a new role and are trialling the position with a view to make it permanent. This is our most popular type of vacancy.

Permanent

A direct and permanent placement in a school. This can either begin as a temporary role and transition into a permanent job - or it can just be permanent from the start. If you’re seeking the stability of a permanent position, we will work with you to find the right role for you.

Tradewind is a great agency to work for. I have had constant work. I couldn't ask for more from Shannon and I don't need to anyway as she is on top of everything. I would highly recommend them if you want to work in a supply role.
