Are you confident working with secondary-aged students and looking for flexible work in local schools?

Tradewind Recruitment is currently recruiting for Cover Supervisors to support secondary schools across Hounslow on a daily supply basis.

This is a great opportunity if you are looking for flexible work, want to gain further experience within secondary education, or enjoy working with young people without the commitment of a long-term placement.

  • Supporting students with their learning where appropriate

  • Taking and recording attendance

  • Reporting any issues or concerns to the appropriate member of staff
