Job description

Cover Supervisor – South Wiltshire Supply Team

Location: Salisbury & South Wiltshire

Start Date: September 2026 / ongoing

Contract Type: Day-to-Day Supply / Short-Term / Long-Term

Pay: Competitive daily rates

Are you an experienced Cover Supervisor who can walk into a secondary classroom and take control calmly and professionally?

TeacherActive is building a strong local cover team for secondary schools across Salisbury and South Wiltshire, including Amesbury, Durrington, Tidworth, Wilton, Downton, the Stonehenge area and surrounding communities.

I am looking for experienced Cover Supervisors who understand what good cover looks like: setting expectations from the outset, delivering work left by the class teacher, keeping pupils focused and ensuring the lesson remains productive.

This is ideal for experienced school Cover Supervisors, experienced supply staff, graduates with substantial secondary classroom experience, instructors or other education professionals who are confident managing classes independently. Work can range from occasional flexible days to regular weekly supply and longer-term cover assignments.

My aim is to build a dependable South Wiltshire team that schools can ask for repeatedly, so reliability, classroom presence and a genuine ability to work with young people are essential.

The successful candidate will have:

• Previous experience supervising classes in a UK secondary school or comparable relevant classroom experience


• Strong behaviour management and the confidence to manage whole classes


• The ability to follow lesson plans and instructions across a range of subjects


• Excellent communication, reliability and professionalism


• Flexibility to travel to schools within your agreed South Wiltshire area

In return, you can expect:

• A dedicated consultant who knows the Wiltshire secondary market


• Flexibility to choose when and where you work


• Day-to-day, short-term and longer-term opportunities


• CPD courses and certificates through our 'My-Progression' brand


• Market-leading rates of pay


• Referral scheme – receive up to £100 when you refer a friend *Terms and Conditions apply*


• Our staff are paid on a PAYE basis, so you can rest assured that you're paying the right level of tax and National Insurance, with no admin charges coming out of your hard-earned cash.
