KPI Education are partnering with a well-regarded secondary school in Hounslow to appoint a motivated and professional Graduate Cover Supervisor. This role offers invaluable experience managing classrooms and delivering pre-planned lessons across a range of subjects.

You will gain exposure to a wide variety of subjects and teaching styles, providing excellent preparation for a future in education.
