- General Cover Cover Supervisor - Greenwich SecondarySecondary school in Greenwich • Full Time1 Sep 2026 - 22 Jul 2027Learn moreLocated in the heart of Greenwich, our vibrant, inclusive, and diverse secondary school is dedicated to ensuring every student reaches their full potential. We believe that excellent behavior and a structured learning environment are the foundations of academic success. We are seeking a resilient, empathetic, and highly organised Behaviour Mentor to manage our Internal Exclusion Room (Isolation Room) and deliver targeted interventions that help students get back on track. The Role As a Behaviour Mentor, you will be the anchor of our behavior management system. This is not a passive monitoring role; you will be actively working to turn a student's day around. When students are removed from lessons due to disruptive behavior, they will be placed under your supervision. Your goal is to maintain a calm, silent, and productive environment where students can complete their academic work, while also using that time to reflect on their actions, identify triggers, and develop better coping mechanisms. Key Responsibilities Room Management: Maintain absolute order, high expectations, and a quiet, focused study environment within the school's Isolation / Internal Exclusion room. Behaviour Mentoring: Deliver structured, 1-to-1 reflective sessions with students to discuss why they were sent out, the impact of their actions, and how to successfully reintegrate into their regular classrooms. Academic Support: Ensure students are actively working on the curriculum packs or digital work provided by their subject teachers, offering basic academic guidance where needed. De-escalation: De-escalate challenging behaviours or high-stress situations with composure, authority, and empathy. Data & Tracking: Maintain accurate, up-to-date logs of student attendance, behaviour patterns, and progress within the room using the school's database (e.g., SIMS/Arbor). Collaboration: Work closely with Heads of Year, the SENDCo, and the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) to share insights on recurring behaviors and contribute to individual Behaviour Support Plans. About You This role is challenging but incredibly rewarding. The ideal candidate will possess a "firm but fair" approach and understand that challenging behavior is often a form of communication. Experience & Qualifications Experience: Previous experience working with young people (aged 11–16) in a secondary school, alternative provision, youth work, or a similar challenging environment is essential. Skills: Strong behaviour management skills with a proven ability to handle defiance or disruption calmly and professionally. Communication: Exceptional interpersonal skills—you can build rapport with hard-to-reach teenagers while maintaining professional boundaries. Resilience: A thick skin, high emotional intelligence, and the ability to start every single day with a fresh, positive outlook for every student. Local Knowledge (Desirable): An understanding of the Greenwich community and the specific contextual challenges faced by young people in South East London. What We Offer A highly supportive Senior Leadership Team that prioritises staff well-being and backs your behavior decisions. Comprehensive training in therapeutic behaviour interventions, restorative justice practices, and de-escalation strategies. The opportunity to make a tangible, daily difference in the lives of young people who need guidance the most.

Roles
What roles do you cover?
We help Teachers, Teaching Assistants, and Cover Supervisors find work. We work with all types of schools and help with short-term, long-term and permanent roles. Many of our long-term roles convert to permanent roles. We make it far easier than a traditional agency for teachers to convert temporary positions into permanent ones.
What areas do you cover?
We work with over 400 schools in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Leeds.
How much work is there?
Generally speaking, we have consistently high demand for daily supply teachers in Greater London, Manchester Birmingham, Bristol and Leeds. Teaching assistant work is generally higher for long-term roles rather than daily supply cover.
Do you have primary, secondary or nursery jobs?
Yes. We can help with daily supply and long-term jobs in nurseries, primary schools and secondary schools. We don't typically have jobs in further education or college.
Do you have work for cover supervisors, invigilators, or school administrators?
While the majority of our work is for teachers and teaching assistants, we do also have work for cover supervisors and invigilators. Explain what you are looking for when you sign up and our team will help you.
What subjects do you cover?
We cover all subjects taught in primary and secondary schools - if you're not sure if we can help you with what you're looking for, please register and arrange to speak to a member of our Teacher Success team.
Do you do school admin jobs?
If you're looking for teaching or teaching assistant roles, and would also be interested in admin roles, it's worth letting us know. If you're only looking for admin roles, we might not be the place for you, as this isn't what we specialise in.
General
How is Zen different from a recruitment agency?
Zen Educate is a technology platform to connect teachers with schools directly. Agencies are an expensive middleman between schools and teachers. They have to charge high commissions because their booking procedures are largely manual and run on outdated systems. Because we run more of the process online or on your phone, we create an experience that delights schools and teachers at a fraction of the cost.
What roles do you cover?
Start a conversation on chat or email support@zeneducate.com and our friendly team will get back to you shortly.
