Secondary Cover Teacher

Are you a qualified secondary teacher who is looking to reduce their hours or not commit to a contract with a school? Do you want to keep your options open and explore more schools across Bristol and Bath whilst you're deciding what your next move is?

Zen Educate are looking for secondary teachers to take on daily supply work, whether that be day to day cover, full time or part time on short or long term basis, starting as soon as possible. You can have full control of your working days and travel preferances all via a free to use app. This work would suit NQTs looking to get more teaching experience before commiting to a post, or an experience teacher that wants to slow down and step away from a permanent post.

Our mission is to save schools money and pay our teaching staff more. Let's have a chat about what it is that you're after and we can look into how we can find something to suit your needs.

To be a great supply teacher in secondary you will need to be flexible to the needs of the school. Whilst a school can take into account specialisms, there will often be elements of teaching various subjects, so being open to deliver lessons based on the timetables will be key.

With supply work you can flex up or down depending on the amount of work you want. Whilst access to a car would be desirable, use of public transport is fine, as long as you are happy to spend some time commuting i.e 45 mins.

We are looking for;

- QTS and relevant teaching qualification
- Confidence in delivering lessons, especially those outside your specialisms
- Good with classroom management and able to tackle behaviours commonly seen when it comes to supply teaching
- Good communication skills and able to handle your calendar effectively
- DBS on the update service is required to work with children so you can either have one already to hand or be willing to apply for one
