Yes you can! You can complete your 2 year induction in either full-time work or while working on long-term supply. Only placements of one full term will count towards your induction, and you need to complete the full time equivalent of two full academic years.
For the latest guidance on your induction, visit the Early Career Framework Guide.
Supply teachers are teachers that have been placed into schools on a daily, short-term or long term basis to cover teacher absences or when temporary vacancies exist to maintain a regular teaching schedule.
Permanent Teachers are on long-term employment contracts with a specific school. They are regular members of the school's staff.
Teaching Supply is a popular route into teaching for Early Career Teachers (ECTs) as it enables them to scope out different schools and gain experience while deciding which school or role is right for them.
Others opt for supply teaching for its flexibility, as they can pick when and where they want to work, meaning they can opt for roles that meet their availability.
