Cover Supervisor – Long-Term Role – Wakefield

Wakefield | Full-time | ️ September start or ASAP | £95–£120/day (depending on experience)

Not a qualified teacher—but love being in the classroom? This long-term role could be just the ticket.

We’re supporting a secondary school in Wakefield with a long-term Cover Supervisor position, starting in September (or earlier if you’re ready). This isn’t day-to-day supply—it’s a consistent role in one school, where you’ll build relationships, routines, and real classroom confidence.

It’s a brilliant opportunity for someone with experience working with young people who’s keen to make a difference—and maybe even explore teaching in the future.

What you’ll be doing:

• Leading pre-planned lessons across a range of subjects

• Managing classroom behaviour and keeping students engaged

• Supporting pupils to stay on task and work independently

• Feeding back to teachers and helping maintain smooth learning

You’ll need:

• Experience working with young people (schools, coaching, tutoring, or youth work all count!)

• A confident, approachable style and calm classroom presence

• Strong communication skills and a flexible attitude

• A genuine interest in education and pupil progress

What’s in it for you?

• A guaranteed long-term role in one supportive Wakefield school

• Weekly PAYE pay—no umbrella companies

• FREE access to Protocol’s CPD Academy (behaviour, safeguarding, and more)

• A dedicated consultant who knows the school and supports you every step of the way

• A great route into teaching if you’re considering a PGCE or SCITT down the line
