  • Build strong professional relationships with students and staff

To succeed as a Secondary Cover Supervisor, you must:

  • Have previous experience working in UK secondary classrooms
  • Be confident in managing classroom behaviour
  • Be adaptable, proactive, and enthusiastic
  • Hold a valid Enhanced Child Workforce DBS registered on the Update Service (or be willing to apply for one)
  • Have the right to work in the UK – please note that we do not offer sponsorship for this position

Why work as a Secondary Cover Supervisor with GSL Education?
