About Laura Martin:

As a Cover Manager I am experienced in managing staff scheduling and ensuring there is cover in demanding circumstances. Being committed to inclusive and accessible education, I bring a wealth of experience and a genuine enthusiasm for creating equal learning for all students in my care.

I currently work in secondary education and have worked with pupils that have a wide range of abilities and needsincluding behavioral, social, and emotional.

Throughout my career, I have built on skills and experiences, some of which were gained in other sectors. This gives me an ability to react and adapt under extreme pressure.
