Job description

Cover Supervisor - Secondary School

Location: DN17 / Gainsborough area

Pay: £110-£130 per day

Contract: Day-to-day supply, short-term and long-term opportunities

Start Date: Immediate opportunities available

Are you a confident and adaptable individual who enjoys working with young people? Do you have experience leading a classroom and the confidence to take charge of a lesson across a variety of subjects?

We are looking for enthusiastic and reliable Cover Supervisors to work within a welcoming and ambitious secondary school setting.

This is a fantastic opportunity for experienced teachers, Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTAs) or recent university graduates looking to gain valuable experience in a secondary school environment.

The school has high expectations for its students and places a strong emphasis on positive behaviour, independent learning and creating a supportive environment where young people are encouraged to achieve their potential.

The Role

• Supervise classes across a variety of subjects in the absence of the regular teacher.
• Deliver pre-prepared lesson materials and ensure students remain on task.
• Confidently manage classroom behaviour and maintain a positive learning environment.
• Encourage students to complete assigned work and stay engaged.
• Adapt to covering different subjects throughout the school day.
• Follow the school's behaviour policies and maintain high standards.
• Provide feedback to teaching staff about the lesson and any issues arising.
• Be flexible and ready to support different departments when required.

You do not need to be a subject specialist!

You should, however, feel confident supervising lessons across different subjects, following lesson plans and managing a classroom effectively. The ability to engage students and maintain positive behaviour is much more important than knowing every subject in detail.

Who Are We Looking For?

• Previous experience working as a teacher.
• Experience as a Higher-Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA).
• Recent graduates with a bachelor's or master's degree.
• Experience working with secondary-aged students.
• Previous experience supervising or leading groups of young people.

Essential Skills and Qualities

• Confident classroom and behaviour management skills.
• A professional, proactive and adaptable approach.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• The ability to establish authority while building positive relationships with students.
• Confidence covering a variety of subjects.
• Reliability, flexibility and a positive attitude.
• The ability to think on your feet and remain calm under pressure.

What's on Offer?

• Competitive daily pay of £110-£130 (higher for a QTS teacher)
• Day-to-day supply opportunities.
• Short-term and long-term placements.
• Flexible working opportunities.
• Experience within a supportive and ambitious secondary school.
• An excellent opportunity for graduates considering a career in teaching.
• Opportunities to gain valuable classroom experience.

Whether you are an experienced teacher looking for flexibility, an HLTA ready for a new challenge or a recent graduate wanting to gain classroom experience, we would love to hear from you.

If you can confidently lead a classroom, manage behaviour and keep students engaged, we want to hear from you!
