What skills and experience we're looking for
Cove School is seeking to appoint a confident and enthusiastic Cover Supervisor who will be responsible for classes during short term absence of a class teacher. The successful candidate will be responsible for maintaining high standards of behaviour and ensuring set tasks are completed.
Applicants should be positive and flexible, with excellent organisational skills and the ability to use your initiative.
