* Practical role plays and scenario-based learning so you’re truly “classroom ready.”

What we offer:

* Consistent work as a Cover Supervisor in secondary schools across Essex.

* Competitive daily pay and weekly payroll.

* Ongoing CPD and support from our training and compliance team.

* The chance to be part of a professional, supportive local agency that values quality.

Who we’re looking for:

* Confident communicators with good presence in front of groups.

* Resilient individuals who can remain calm under pressure.

* People with experience working with young people (youth work, coaching, mentoring, or similar is a bonus).
