Push and SMS: More alerts and notifications for teachers
Teachers will soon have the option to be notified for jobs by both SMS and Push Notifications, giving 100% assurance that they will be alerted to opportunities.
Currently teachers can choose to accept or decline a job by either SMS or Push Notifications and not by both simultaneously. While the majority of teachers experience no issues with their chosen means of notifications, there is a large enough group of teachers who do have issues which can be experienced for a variety of reasons (not set up properly, low internet or data coverage, low battery or multiple devices with ClassCover installed).
While we work on bringing this feature out to you, we do recommend going through the notification troubleshooting guide linked below if you are experiencing issues.
Schedule booking request coming soon to schools
Need to send a booking request but know it’s probably not the best time for the teacher to respond?
Teachers often feel conflicted regarding what they do when receiving sought after booking requests whilst they are teaching a class. Do they monitor their phone, or leave it on silent and potentially miss out on days of work?
For schools, having requests sent out at times when sought after teachers might not able to respond due to being on class can lead to not booking the teacher they ideally wish to hire.
We’ve solved this issue will be releasing a scheduled send option for schools so you can set up the booking and let it run at a chosen time that is more appropriate for the teacher to accept.
'My schools' now on mobile for teachers
Teachers can now access the 'My Schools' tab on the ClassCover mobile app. Previously available on the web version only, the addition to the mobile app gives teachers more functionality and control in-app.
The My Schools tab allows teachers to view the schools that they are attached to, deregister or appear unavailable.
To access this feature in-app, update the the latest version and go to Account > My Schools
🚀 Launching soon: ClassCover Jobs
Permanent, temporary, block work and day to day casual positions in all types of schools in all parts of Australia and New Zealand. ClassCover will soon be offering schools a way to broadcast opportunities to thousands of teachers who use ClassCover and are local to the school to find the right talent.
It’s not just permanent and block work, but schools will also have the option to post for more teachers to be added to ClassCover casual lists for when schools are actively looking to expand teacher pools. Teachers will easily be able to find relevant opportunities and apply within ClassCover.
The ClassCover Jobs feature adds another layer of convenience for schools and opens up more work options for teachers.
