About the Cover Supervisor role:
- Supervise class in the absence of the regular teacher
- Assist students with questions, support students to complete assigned activities
- Manage behaviour in accordance with the school rules
- Feedback to the class teacher and leave handover notes
You won't be required to design classes or actively 'teach' the information left by the absent teacher, and you won't need any official qualifications or experience beyond your degree; you can also rest in the knowledge that you will receive thorough training.
This is the perfect way to get a taste for working in education prior to starting a PGCE.
