Cover staff are a regular feature in secondary schools across the Wolverhampton area.
Academics Ltd are working with a number of those schools and we are looking for candidates who have charisma, energy, patience, presence and a sense of humour.
There are no formal qualifications required to apply to be school cover staff, although a reasonable level of literacy and numeracy is desired. You will also require a degree of flexibility due to the nature of the role.
Your main role is to provide cover for absent teachers. You will be required to deliver the work that the teacher has set and be confident in managing a classroom of students with ages ranging from 11-18.
If you are considering training to become a teacher then this role can be very helpful in making that final decision. It gives essential experience and provides a source of income.
The cover staff role would suit NQT's looking for extra classroom time, PGCE students, Sports Coaches, Instructors/Lecturers from an FE background and TA/HLTA's looking to make the step into teaching in Secondary schools.
So what are you waiting for?
