Job Description
Five Education requires a Cover Supervisor to cover lessons in the event of a teacher's absence. You will be required to follow cover instructions and teach the pre-prepared lesson materials. The suitable candidate will be engaging and confident with children and young people. The school requires you to deliver lesson content, answer questions they may have and offer clear instructions/ guidance to enable pupils to stay on track with the learning that is taking place within the classroom.
Five Education is working with multiple schools in Glastonbury, this includes mainstream primary and secondary schools, specialist (SEND) schools and alternative provision. You could be teaching any subject in the National Curriculum. The successful candidate will have a strong sense of initiative, be quick thinking and resilient. The highest demand is for people who can teach Key Stage 3-4 Maths and English. However, if you can teach practical or creative subjects, this skill set is also very much in demand. Additionally, we need people from trade backgrounds, creative industries and those who practice sports.
This work is available on a day-to-day basis, meaning you only work on the days you choose to be available, but we also have longer-term positions over several terms. No formal teaching qualification is required to work as a Cover Supervisor but experience working with children and young people is desirable.
