We are working with a range of Secondary Schools across London who are looking for confident, professional and dedicated people to work as Cover Supervisors in their schools to provide short-term and daily cover for teachers.
The Role
As a Cover Supervisor you will work in secondary schools covering classes and ensuring students are working on tasks whilst teachers are absent or engaged in other activities and meetings. This is a key role within secondary schools and almost every secondary school will engage cover supervisors to allow teachers.
This is great opportunity to work on flexible basis and gain experience within secondary schools.
Cover Supervisors are required for the full school day – 08:15am to 15:00pm (approx.)
Flexible work options
Most Cover Supervisors begin work on a short-term/supply basis. This is ideal if you just want to work a few days in local schools, or want to build experience within the secondary school sector. For more experienced Cover Supervisors, we have full-time contracts available.
