Cover Supervisors in West London, we need you!
 
Pertemps Education are seeking Cover Supervisors to work across schools in West London on both a Daily Supply & Long-term basis. We partner with a variety of local secondary schools, helping to cover the absence of staff.
 
Our schools ensure that the cover staff we provide are treated the same as any member of their own permanent team. You are supported in your work by the Cover Manager & SLT, helping you to only grow in confidence & ability, but to deliver a high standard of work to the pupils in your care.

Here they will check your ID and DBS, as well as induct you through H&S and Behaviour Policies.
