• Engage students in learning activities, answer questions, and provide support during the lesson.
• Maintain discipline and uphold school policies while promoting a positive classroom atmosphere.
• Report back to regular teachers on students' behaviour, progress, and any concerns during the cover period.

• A minimum of 30 days UK experience as a cover supervisor in classroom settings within the last 2 years
• Previous experience working with students or in a school environment is advantageous.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to effectively interact with students and staff.
