Cover Supervisor – Greenwich | Long & Short-Term Opportunities

Are you a Cover Supervisor looking for pre-booked teaching opportunities in Greenwich?

Whether you're an experienced Cover Supervisor, Teaching Assistant or aspiring teacher, Ribbons & Reeves have a range of opportunities across secondary schools in Greenwich.

We work with schools requiring planned cover, meaning you'll be offered pre-arranged assignments rather than unpredictable day-to-day work. Opportunities range from short-term cover to longer-term placements, giving you the flexibility to choose work that suits your experience and availability.

About the Cover Supervisor role:

  • Pre-booked short-term and long-term assignments
  • Opportunities across KS3 and KS5
  • Long-term maternity, sabbatical and sickness cover available
  • Temp-to-perm opportunities
  • Competitive weekly PAYE pay
  • Paid in line with AWR where applicable
  • No umbrella companies
  • Dedicated consultant support throughout your placement

What we're looking for:

  • Previous experience working with secondary-aged pupils
  • Strong classroom and behaviour management skills
  • Confident supervising lessons across different subjects
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills
  • Reliable, adaptable and able to work independently
  • Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one
  • Commitment to maintaining a positive learning environment

We're looking for reliable Cover Supervisors who can confidently manage a classroom, follow lesson plans and maintain high standards of behaviour. You should be adaptable and able to establish authority quickly when working across different classes and year groups.

If you're a Cover Supervisor seeking flexible, pre-booked opportunities in Greenwich, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today to discuss the schools and opportunities available for September and throughout the academic year.

Ribbons & Reeves are London’s leading Education Recruiters, specialising in long-term and permanent roles. For other opportunities, search ‘Ribbons & Reeves’. We look forward to supporting you in your application.
