What Does a Cover Supervisor Do?
You’ll typically work from around 8.30am–3pm, supervising secondary school classes when their usual teacher is absent.
The work has already been prepared. Your job is to keep students engaged, on task and following the school’s expectations.
No lesson planning. No marking. No work to take home.
Who Are We Looking For?
We’d particularly like to hear from graduates, sports coaches, dance teachers, actors, musicians and performing arts professionals.
