Cover Supervisor – Pgce Experience – Mold

Salary: £26,000 per year

– Are you unsure if you want to complete your PGCE?

– Do you want some classroom experience first?

– Is it time to look at new avenues? 

If you are a graduate, unqualified teacher, sports coach or experienced teaching assistant then working as a Cover Supervisor through Educate would be the perfect role to gain experience in Secondary Schools across Wrexham and showcase your invaluable skills.

Day to Day, you would be responsible for delivering lessons in the absence of the class teachers, effectively manage classroom behaviour and actively encourage a positive and fun learning experience for the pupils.

Who are the Educate Group?

We are a team of teachers; we have walked in your shoes and worked in your world…

As a team, we have over 65 years combined teaching and senior leadership experience and taught across all education sectors. We use our understanding of the education system to help provide you with day-to-day, short and long-term opportunities in schools across the whole of North Wales, Cheshire, and Shropshire.

We have trained thousands of PGCE students who gained their Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and provide the necessary training and support to help aid the time you lost in the classroom through Covid-19.

You will often find us alongside our supply staff in schools and will provide you with experience, empathy, and a platform to showcase your strengths in the hope of gaining permanent employment.
