Cover Teachers - the interview

The Registration Interview

Entry onto our Register requires a personal interview, contacting referees, ID verification, QTS, GTCE registration and enhanced CRB disclosure checks. You will need to bring appropriate documentation to enable us to carry out these checks when we meet you.

Checks are undertaken as quickly as possibly to enable early commencement of work - frequently teachers already possess some of the necessary documentation. We need to establish your skills and strengths to enable appropriate placement in schools. As far as is possible we try to place teachers in schools local to their home.

To register with Cover you will need to be resident in England as a face to face interview is the first stage of this process. We have a rigorous vetting process for all teachers which has to be satisfied before any teacher is considered for work. If you would like to start the registration process click on Teacher Registration Form or call 0117 9735695
