Are you looking to extend your classroom experience before deciding on a career in education? Are you a teacher wanting to return to work after a period away from the classroom? Or, are you a qualified teacher, who wants a better work-life balance than a permanent teaching job allows?

We are working with a number of schools in the Sefton area that are looking to recruit cover supervisors. The role of a Cover Supervisor is varied and challenging but also very rewarding; you will be expected to deliver prepared work to pupils as well as managing the classroom. In the role, flexibility and a sense of humour are essential.

Roles vary from ad-hoc daily cover to longer term positions, although this could lead to something more long-term in future, dependent upon the schools need. The successful candidate would need to be available to start as soon as possible

* Flexible hours and working patterns

* A 'Recommend a friend' bonus worth up to £300

RESPONSIBILITIES

* Being willing and able to supervise classes of 11-18 year-olds, managing behaviour in line with school policies

* Delivering lessons from a range of subjects across the national curriculum set by a qualified teacher, with no planning or marking involved

* Engaging with the pupils and keeping them on task, assisting with queries where possible

* Dealing with any immediate issues or emergencies according to the school policies and procedures

REQUIREMENTS

* Experience of working with secondary age children, which can be referenced (voluntary work included)

* An enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check (DBS)

* A flexible, punctual, professional and approachable manner
