Cover Supervisor

Are you a passionate and supportive individual looking to maximise your potential in education?

Are you looking for the perfect work/life balance?

When undertaking this cover supervisor role, you will gain vital experience for future employment and potential education roles e.g., PGCE. You will have complete control and work flexibility which is great for individuals with busy lifestyles and study commitments (temporary). You will have exclusive access to our new Continuing Professional Development (CPD) application where you can gain qualifications.

If you have had disappointing experiences of working with education recruitment agencies in the past, you may be skeptical about joining us. But, at Academics we provide a human experience to supply. You'd expect us to consider ourselves to be the best though. Here are some recent comments shared in our Google reviews from our staff just like you:

"I've previously worked for teaching agencies that didn't really look after their employees. Academics are an excellent/professional agency that really value their employees. I was given work immediately, paid on time, checked up on and given work locally to my location. I can't recommend this agency enough. Even post working there I was checked up on by Luke. Very attentive and down to earth."
