Are you Ex Service personnel or looking to leave the Armed Forces over the next few months and not sure what civil life has to offer? Have you thought about getting into Teaching? If you have and but have thought its too much hassle then you couldn't be more wrong. Teaching is a profession that is crying out for good strong personnel like those leaving the armed forces. Teaching can give you the direction you crave and the structure you are used to while at the same time moulding the minds of future. I am not saying jump two feet into the world of teaching as for some working with children is not for them.

  • Provide structure and boundaries throughout the day to a child
  • Be able to encourage and motivate adapt and over come, react to situations as they are presented
  • Engage in sports or academic events
  • Nurture and be a support arm to the children and school.

What Are Cover Supervisors?

Cover supervisors are booked on a daily basis; you will need to be available at 0700hrs for a morning call to work at the school. If by 0800hrs no call has been made to you, you can stand down.

As a Cover Supervisor this is a way into teaching full time and you get training in Classroom Management Skills, at the same time you will be experience what its like to work in an education environment.

The main school we are recruiting for is a medium sized secondary school in Barnsley who belong to a large Multi Academy Trust throughout South Yorkshire.
