How to Use 'Find New Schools' to Request to Join
You can use Find New Schools on both the app and desktop version of ClassCover.
On the App or Desktop:

Use the filters to narrow your search (see below for filter options).
When you find a school you’d like to connect with, tap Request to Join.
Once your request is sent, the school will review your profile. If accepted, you’ll be added to their list of casuals and become eligible for booking requests.
Filter Options When Searching for Schools
When using Find New Schools, you can filter your search by:
School Name: Search for a specific school.
Distance to Postcode: Find schools near a particular postcode.

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.
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.
