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

As a Cover Supervisor, you will:

• 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?

We would love to hear from candidates with any of the following backgrounds:

• 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!
