As a casual relief teacher or casual non-teaching staff member using ClassCover, understanding how the booking process works ensures you never miss an opportunity to accept a job. Below is a step-by-step breakdown of how bookings are made and confirmed.
1. A School Needs a Casual Relief Teacher
When a school needs a casual teacher, they will create a booking through ClassCover. There are three types of bookings:
Regular Booking: The school sends a direct request to either a specific teacher or list of casual teachers, the first teacher to respond with ‘Accept’ is booked.
Flexi Booking: The school creates a booking when they know they have a vacancy, but don’t yet know the specific class or teacher that will need covering.
Pre-confirmed Booking: If you have a prior verbal agreement with the school, the booking will automatically appear in your calendar.
2. You Get Notified of the Booking Request
Once a booking request is made, you will receive a notification based on your preferred settings:
Push Notification (via the ClassCover app)
Email Notification
3. You're Booked!
Once you accept the request (or in the case of pre-confirmed bookings, once the school assigns you), your calendar updates automatically, and you’re all set for your next teaching job! It’s as simple as that!
