TeacherActive reviews

Not so much a slight at the company but with supply in general is that you don't have a guaranteed income so throughout the summer and Christmas for example you have no income. However if you're smart with your money then the overall income you make can stretch easily enough to cover bills etc during those months. The only point that I feel Teacheractive could improve is the petrol allowance. It is very inconsistent when and how you are allowed petrol money. I always have to ask for it and would like some clarity on when I am entitled to it. Suggested systems either claim back petrol money per mile each week/month or if the teachers round trip to work is over an hour then a £10 supplement should be allowed and then increased at £5 intervals per half hour. If you know teachers addressed and school addresses use google maps to work out round trip distance and apply funds accordingly. I myself have been given £7, £10 and £12.50 petrol money added to my daily pay for a range of inconsistent distances. For example £10 was given for a hour and a half round trip whereas £7 was given for a 2 hour round trip (including traffic). A minor improvement point that I hope can be ironed out soon.

so far so good nothing to report.
