- Proactive and reactive cover with schools advising of requirements in advance but also in the morning; full flexibility for the relevant cover supervisors
- Competitive pay rate equating to GBP57 - GBP70 per day depending on the length of the school day and specific responsibilities
- Opportunity to cover lessons and support within lessons where applicable
- Gain invaluable experience within a secondary school which will support a future application onto a PGCE for example

- Individual with cover supervisor experience
- Youth Worker
- Teaching Assistant
- Tutor

Schools in this area of Warrington are reputable with them servicing a community whereby students are generally engaged with school life and exhibit positive behaviour. Covering lessons is therefore a positive experience at these schools but still brings with it an element of behaviour management.
