Are you a compassionate and resilient individual looking to make a difference in the lives of students?

Randstad Education is seeking a dedicated Cover Supervisor to join a supportive secondary school team in the historic area of Chafford Hundred.

Key Advert Details

• Agency: Randstad Education.

Candidate Requirements

• Experience: Previous experience working with young people (coaching, youth work, or school-based experience) is essential.
• Education: A degree is often preferred (ideal for aspiring teachers), but strong GCSEs in English and Maths (Grade C/4 or above) are required.
• Compliance: An Enhanced Child DBS on the Update Service is mandatory (Randstad can assist with a new application if needed).
• Attributes: You must be confident, resilient, and able to command a room with a "firm but fair" approach.
