Lambeth Schools Supply Service (LSSS)
The Lambeth Schools Supply Service, in partnership with Supreme Education, has been developed to provide high quality supply teachers, and support staff, to Lambeth schools.
The service aims to pay teachers a fair rate, in line with national pay rates, for teachers, usually meaning you get better pay than through traditional agencies.
Over half of Lambeth's schools are currently using the service, making this one of the best places to find regular supply work in Lambeth schools.
LSSS makes no charge to schools to take supply teachers on a permanent basis, where suitable positions exist. This provides good opportunities to work on a longer term basis in Lambeth schools.
Benefits of working for the Lambeth Schools Supply Service
- Teachers are paid to scale - you will receive a fair rate, according to your teaching experience
- A variety of short term, long term and permanent opportunities are available in Lambeth schools
- Over half of Lambeth's schools use the service
- Newly qualified teachers (NQTs) can undertake induction in positions of two terms or more in length (only completed periods of induction can be taken forward, and cannot be started retrospectively)
- The service has an automated payroll system - you are paid weekly, without having to have a timesheet signed
- There is online access to jobs - you assign yourself to the positions you want to cover
- In addition to Lambeth, those registering with the service are able to work in the neighbouring boroughs of Wandsworth, Southwark, Lewisham and (slightly further afield) Bexley.
