Paige talks about her career at Flourish Education

Supply teachers are an incredibly important part of the education system. When a teacher is off work, whether they're sick or on leave, then it's a supply teacher's job to step in and fill the gap. Everyone at Flourish Education works very hard to ensure that we can provide some of the best supply teachers and education staff. There's a variety of qualities and attributes that make a good supply teacher, the first being honesty. Of course it's always crucial to be open and honest to your students when giving feedback, as well as being honest about your skills and experience when registering with us.
