Are you an aspiring teacher, a recent graduate, or a mentor looking to make a difference in Luton? Teaching Personnel is seeking confident and motivated Cover Supervisors to support our partner secondary schools across the Luton area.

This role is the perfect "stepping stone" into education. You will gain high-volume classroom experience and build your professional confidence-all while working in a vibrant, local school environment.

• Local Work: We work with a variety of schools across Luton, keeping your commute short.

• Flexible Work-Life Balance: Choose assignments that fit your schedule-perfect for graduates or those with other commitments.

• Career Development: Access to bespoke CPD training to prepare you for a future teaching qualification (PGCE/School Direct).

• Competitive Pay: Earn a daily rate that reflects your skills, paid weekly.

• Dedicated Support: You'll have a local consultant (Kasia) to help find the right school fit for you.

As a Cover Supervisor, you are the leader of the classroom when a teacher is away. Your focus is to:

• Lead the Classroom: Manage student behavior and keep the environment focused, safe, and positive.

• Facilitate Learning: Deliver pre-set lesson plans across various subjects (no subject-specific expertise required!).

• Support & Inspire: Help students stay on track with their tasks and encourage them to reach their potential.

• Collaborate: Provide feedback to the school's department on student progress and engagement.

• Experience: Previous experience with children or young adults (e.g., coaching, youth work, tutoring, or volunteering).

• Confidence: The ability to command a room and communicate effectively with teenagers.

• Adaptability: A "can-do" attitude and the ability to stay calm under pressure.

• Qualifications: A degree or A-Levels are preferred, but we value personality, presence, and reliability.

• Requirements: Must hold (or be willing to apply for) an Enhanced DBS check.
