Job description
Cover Supervisor (Temporary / Flexible) – Bexley, South East London
What is a Cover Supervisor?

A cover supervisor is responsible for supervising classes in the absence of the regular classroom teacher.

Cover supervisors do not usually teach new content or provide subject-specific expertise.
