Tradewind are working with a large mainstream Secondary school based close Solihull that is looking for enthusiastic and reliable Cover Supervisors to support their students and staff. With both full-time and day-to-day opportunities available, this is a great chance to gain valuable experience while making a real difference in the classroom.
