How Much Do Supply Teachers and TAs Get Paid?

Pay is one of the biggest questions educators have before stepping into supply — and understandably so. Supply work can feel mysterious from the outside, but the reality is simple: your rate depends on your role, experience, and the type of booking.

Teachers

• Day‑to‑day: Paid a flat daily rate (no planning etc)

• Long‑term: Often paid to scale (M1–M6 to UPS)

• Specialist subjects: Sometimes higher due to demand

• AWR for long-term teaching roles from day one! (Paid to a scale).

TAs

• Paid hourly

• Higher rates for SEND, 1:1, or behaviour roles

The key thing to know? You should always understand your rate upfront. A good agency will explain it clearly, pay weekly, and never hide holiday pay inside confusing numbers.
