Pay Rate: £90 - £105
Hours: 08:30 -1530
Contract: Temp/Flexible
GSL Education are currently recruiting for cover supervisors to work in a secondary school in the London borough of Tower Hamlets for daily and short-term cover.
Cover supervising allows for flexible work and competitive rates of pay, without the workload of planning and marking lessons etc. It provides excellent opportunities for graduates to gain experience in a school setting, developing classroom experience before deciding what career path in education you wish to choose.. Or perhaps you have other commitments and need a greater work/life balance. Cover supervising also gives retired teachers the opportunity to earn extra money without the planning, marking and commitment required with full-time or permanent teaching.
What the role will involve:
Supervising classes of up to 30 teenagers
Can be any age group from y7-13
A timetable is issued with 6 lessons, usually, upon arrival and will likely be a variety of subjects (eg history, French, science, English and ICT)
You don't need to be a specialist as work will always be left, you just need to be confident to maintain focus and keep the young people engaged
Primary objective is to maintain control of the classroom and keep the learners working, completing the work left by their class teacher
Communicate with the class teacher wherever possible, you may be their eyes and ears
Be active, walking around the class and helping wherever possible – but maintain spatial awareness…
Have an opening gambit in mind, an introduction for each class as an ‘ice-breaker’ so the children can get to know you, as this will help build a professional relationship
Advise the children that you want to leave lots of positive notes for their teacher at the end of the lesson – and do leave notes, also make notes real time so you don’t forget
Be aware of the school behaviour policy and follow it as necessary
Use the pupils’ names where possible, you should have a seating plan with names and photos
