GSL Education are currently recruiting Classroom Supervisors to work in 'Good' and 'Outstanding' secondary schools across Greenwich for daily or short-time cover. This role is ideal for graduates to gain experience in a school setting, developing classroom experience before deciding what career path in education they wish to choose or perhaps they have other commitments and need a greater work/life balance. Cover supervising also gives retired teachers the opportunity to earn extra money without the planning, marking and commitment required with full-time or permanent teaching.

• The primary objective is to maintain control of the classroom and keep the learners working, completing the work left by their class teacher.
• Communicate with the class teacher wherever possible, you may be their eyes and ears.
• Be active, walking around the class and helping wherever possible – but maintain spatial awareness.
• Have an opening gambit in mind, an introduction for each class as an ‘ice-breaker’ so the children can get to know you, as this will help build a professional relationship
• Be aware of the school behaviour policy and follow it as necessary.
• Managing behaviour and maintaining classroom control in line with the school's behaviour policy.
• Engaging with students through confident communication and classroom management strategies.
