Employer Resources

Support on recruiting an education candidate

Recruiting candidates in education can be a minefield. With increasing legislation regarding the vetting of staff with access to children, it is important to make sure that you know what the full pre-employment checks are. Furthermore, issues such as the Work Visa’s and ‘Rights to Work’ in the UK are also of particular importance to employers in education. Education Vacancies has put together a collection of useful resources for employers. If you have any comments or questions regarding these or other resources for employers, please email us at admin@educationvacancies.com

When you don't have a cover lesson??

Posted on: Mon Mar 15, 2010 - 09:03 PM

Hi there, I'm currently employed under the title of "Learning Tutor" which seems to be a title they have dreamed up to cover a multitude of roles. My primary responsibility is covering lessons, which often I do for most of the day. However, between lessons I am expected to offer classroom support and after school for an hour a update displays around school. I am payed 13500. I was wonder what other CS's do between cover lessons?? I know before now cover supervisor at my school got to relax for those lessons, of just catch up on admin, which takes in honesty 10 minutes to write up a few detentions or incident forms. Also do you think I should be offered training or higher pay since I am in lessons every lesson and offering in-classroom support, a like to a TA? Thanks Abra. Read the full thread...
