Are you calm under pressure, confident managing behaviour, and passionate about helping vulnerable young people succeed? Are you looking for a unique role where every day is different - and where you can make a genuine impact?

Aspire People are working with a specialist provision in Bedfordshire that supports young women who are unable to attend mainstream school due to complex emotional and social needs. Many of these students have experienced a high level of disruption in their early lives, and as a result, may struggle to build trust and regulate their emotions.

This setting offers a structured, supportive environment focused on helping each student re‑engage with education at a pace that suits them. As a Cover Supervisor, you'll play a crucial role in maintaining continuity of learning and building positive, respectful relationships with pupils.

What We're Looking For:

• Experienced working with young people in an education setting
• Able to confidently deliver pre‑planned lessons and supervise small groups (max. 10 students)
• Resilient, calm, and consistent in managing behaviour
• Skilled at building rapport while maintaining clear and professional boundaries
• Proactive, reflective, and confident working independently and as part of a team
• A driver, due to the rural nature of the setting (essential)

This role would suit someone with experience in youth work, residential care, behaviour support who is now looking for a fresh challenge.

Why Join This Setting?

• Be part of a dedicated, trauma‑informed team
• Work with small class sizes and build meaningful relationships
• Gain valuable experience in a specialist educational setting
• Receive ongoing support and professional development from Aspire People and the school
• Make a genuine difference in the lives of young women navigating complex circumstances
