Cover Supervisor

This is an exciting opportunity to inspire young people, develop your classroom presence, and gain valuable experience – all while maintaining the flexibility you need to pursue your creative career.

Why Creatives Make Great Cover Supervisors

Your performing and creative background gives you unique strengths that transfer perfectly into schools:

• Confidence in engaging and motivating groups of young people.
• Excellent communication skills and adaptability.
• The ability to think on your feet and bring energy to every interaction.

Working as a Cover Supervisor is a fantastic opportunity to gain experience in a secondary school setting while enjoying flexible working hours.
