Job Description

TITLE: Unqualified Teachers needed to work in secondary schools across South-East/South/South-West London.

JOB DESCRIPTION: Principal Education are seeking passionate and enthusiastic educators, to work as unqualified teachers and cover supervisors in our secondary schools across London, on a flexible daily basis (you can work as and when your university schedule allows!). There are NO qualifications required for this type of work, however, previous experience working with children in some capacity is highly desirable. 

Unqualified teachers/cover supervisors are responsible for providing general cover for lessons in secondary school classrooms when teachers are absent. The lesson planning and activities will be available for you, so you are not expected to teach the lessons – you are simply required to deliver the set work to the pupils, ensuring that you work to create a safe classroom environment, which is conducive to promoting optimal teaching and learning.

To be eligible for this role, you MUST:

Demonstrate the right to work in the United Kingdom.

Possess strong classroom and behavioural management skills.

Demonstrate the ability to create a learning environment which effectively caters for pupils with special education needs (SEN).

Be flexible and adaptable, willing and able to think on your feet.

Demonstrate calmness & composure under pressure, to maintain an optimal learning environment.

Possess a recent, enhanced copy of a DBS – or be willing to obtain one from Principal Education.

Possess an overseas police clearance from any country that you have resided in for six months or more within the last five years, outside of the United Kingdom.

Be based in a London borough, or within commutable distance.

Pay rates for work as an cover supervisor, in our secondary schools, typically range from £100 - £120 per day for flexible daily cover. However, if you secure an ongoing role in the one school, then we will aim to pay you a daily rate which aligns with the unqualified teacher pay scale.

NOTE: If you include an updated copy of your CV with your expression of interest, this will greatly enhance the quality of your application
