Are you looking for flexible work as a classroom Cover Supervisor in a Secondary School local to Chelmsford?
We are working with our client schools around the Chelmsford area to find strong Cover Supervisors to support schools with their short term teacher absences on a flexible basis.
What is a Cover Supervisor?

- Flexible work to suit your availability (e.g. 1 - 5 days a week)
- Starting immediately – regular work throughout the academic year
- CPD opportunities including a course on how to be a Cover Supervisor, a free Safeguarding course and Team Teach etc.
- Great way to gain experience if considering a PGCE
The successful candidate will ideally:
- Hold a degree
- Have aspirations of becoming a secondary teacher
- Have some availability for flexible short notice work
- Be confident in order to manage a class of pupils
- Have previous experience in a similar setting or working with young people
