Teaching Personnel are seeking confident, reliable, and experienced Cover Supervisors to work in Secondary Schools across Kent from September.

We are partnering with a number of schools that are looking for enthusiastic individuals to provide classroom supervision during teacher absences. This is an excellent opportunity for candidates with previous experience working with young people in educational settings who are looking to make a positive impact in schools.

You will supervise students across a range of subjects, manage classroom behaviour effectively, and provide support to pupils where required.

• Strong classroom and behaviour management skills.
• Confidence leading a classroom and engaging groups of students.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Full-time availability from September.
• A proactive, professional, and adaptable approach.

We have opportunities available predominantly in:

• Maidstone
• Medway
• Dartford
• Chatham

However, we are keen to hear from experienced Cover Supervisors and education professionals from across Kent.

• Competitive rates of pay.
• Long-term, short-term, and permanent opportunities.
• Flexible placements to suit your experience and availability.
• Ongoing support from a dedicated Teaching Personnel consultant.
• Access to professional development and training opportunities.

Whether you are an experienced Cover Supervisor or have transferable experience working with young people and are looking to develop your career in education, we would love to hear from you.
