Together, Hackney's schools and nurseries educate around 38,000 children, and that scale keeps secondary cover requests coming in every week of term.

Expect five lessons a day across different year groups, with planning provided by the department for most cover work. Bookings come from across the city and surrounding areas including Shoreditch, Dalston and Stoke Newington, so you can filter for secondary schools and sixth forms within a comfortable commute.

Longer placements often include responsibility for coursework or intervention groups, which strengthens applications for permanent posts. Because our consultants are based in the London, we can match you to settings that fit your travel, experience and preferred age range rather than filling any gap that appears.
