Your Role as a Cover Supervisor:

As a Cover Supervisor, you'll play a key role in maintaining continuity of learning in the absence of teaching staff. Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering pre-prepared lesson plans across a range of subjects and year groups
• Managing classroom behaviour in line with school policies
• Supporting students with their learning and encouraging engagement
• Reporting back to teaching staff on student progress and classroom activity
• Building rapport with students and staff across different school settings

This is an ideal opportunity for individuals considering a career in teaching, recent graduates, or those with experience in youth work, coaching, or mentoring.
