If you are looking for a proactive way to connect with new schools and book more work on ClassCover, check out our 'Find New Schools' feature. With Find New Schools, you can search for schools in your area and send a request to join their list of casuals – making it easier for them to find and book you for relief work. This is one of the best ways to grow your network and increase your chances of getting regular bookings.
Important: Schools must have the ‘Receive Teacher Requests’ feature turned on to receive join requests. If you can’t find a school, it likely means they’ve chosen not to accept requests.
How ‘Find New Schools’ Can Help You Book More Work
Proactively Contact Schools: Search for schools that meet your criteria and request to join their list. Once added, you can be notified about opportunities for work.
Browse School Profiles: When searching in Find New Schools, you can click through and view individual school profiles to view their number of students, contact person, as well as an overview of the school to help you make an informed decision.
Get Added to More School Lists: By joining more school lists, you increase your chances of being booked for casual work.

Tips to Improve Your Chances of Being Accepted
Schools review your profile before accepting your join request, so it’s important to make sure yours is looking its best.
First, make sure your profile is visible to schools – if it’s hidden, schools won’t be able to see your request.
A strong profile makes a big difference. Upload a professional photo, complete your bio, and add your teaching experience. Check out these tips to help your ClassCover profile stand out.
Finally, keep your calendar up to date – schools are more likely to send booking requests to teachers who show as available. Here’s how to keep your availability updated.
