Secondary School Teachers & Cover Supervisors

Secondary Teachers & Cover Supervisors Needed in Crawley!

Teaching Personnel are working with secondary schools across Crawley who are looking for talented teachers and experienced cover supervisors throughout the 2026/27 academic year.

With a mixture of long-term, permanent and ongoing supply opportunities, we're keen to hear from qualified teachers, ECTs, cover supervisors and experienced education professionals who are looking for their next role.

Crawley is a diverse and busy area with schools supporting students from a wide range of backgrounds. The schools we work with are looking for people who are reliable, adaptable and confident working with young people, while bringing a positive attitude and high expectations into the classroom.

Whether you're an experienced teacher looking for a new school, an ECT building your experience, or a cover supervisor looking for your next opportunity, we'd like to hear from you.

What we're looking for

For teaching positions, we're looking for candidates with QTS or an equivalent recognised qualification, including ECTs and overseas-trained teachers with the relevant UK recognition.

For cover supervisor roles, formal teaching qualifications aren't essential. We're interested in people with strong classroom presence and previous experience working with secondary-aged students — whether that's in education, youth work, sports, tutoring or another relevant setting.

Across both roles, schools are looking for professionals who:

• Build positive relationships with students while maintaining clear boundaries.

• Are confident managing behaviour and maintaining a purposeful learning environment.

• Can adapt quickly to different classes, students and school environments.

• Are reliable, professional and committed to safeguarding.

• Bring enthusiasm, resilience and a genuine interest in helping young people succeed.
