Aussie supply teachers living the dream in the UK

As an Aussie living in London I can definitely relate to the perks of having Europe right on your doorstep. With most flights taking no longer than it does to fly from Sydney to Perth why wouldn’t you travel?

Sail Turkey, explore Greece or road trip across several countries –  the world’s your oyster and supply teaching in London may offer the flexibility you need to squeeze it all in.

Living abroad has made me realise just how easy it is to jet away for a weekend without breaking the bank.

With five airports across London, it is easy enough to find the one most convenient for you with a cheap flight to your next destination. Our Australian supply teachers love the flexibility of being able to go away for long weekends during term time. Flights are cheap, tourists are at a minimum and you’ll have supply work lined up for your return.

Even if you don’t make it overseas there are still endless places to visit within the UK. A few of my favourites include Torquay, Bath and Brighton. England is the heart of Europe and the pit stop for the rest.

“I feel very privileged teaching in London. At first I thought I was out of my comfort zone from teaching in Australia but once I was settled into the environment around me I haven’t looked back. Not only am I enjoying my teaching but I also have the chance to travel Europe on the long weekends and in school breaks. I often have to pinch myself about how incredibly lucky I am to be undergoing this stage in my career and life.” Jonny – Supply teacher
