Short Term and Daily Supply Work in Special Needs

While some special needs, schools will avoid short term cover, many S contact Protocol Education to help them find cover for daily and short-term cover.

The ability to be flexible, listen and learn quickly is a great advantage to an aspiring special needs teacher.

For you, daily supply work is a great option if you want flexibility or need to combine work with other responsibilities and interests. Typically we look for people who are available for at least 3 days a week, but you can manage your own availability and take the work that suits your lifestyle.
