We are looking for a motivated, enthusiastic and reliable Cover Supervisor to join our dedicated team here at The Mirfield Free Grammar.
The Cover Supervisor will work under the guidance of our teaching staff to support students as individuals or in small groups both in and out of the classroom. The role will also involve the supervision of whole classes during teacher absence.

This position can provide an ideal experience for graduates of any subject to then apply for teacher training courses.
We look forward to hearing from you.
