Cover Supervisor at London Secondary School

Location: London
Contract: Full-time | Long-term
Salary: £100-£135/day
Start Date: September
Are you confident leading a classroom and passionate about supporting young people? Whether you're a graduate exploring a career in teaching, or an experienced educator looking for a new opportunity, this Cover Supervisor role could be the perfect next step.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Supervise lessons across a range of subjects and year groups in a vibrant secondary school environment
  
• Deliver pre-prepared lessons and ensure students remain engaged and focused
  
• Manage behaviour in line with school policies, promoting respect and a calm learning atmosphere
  
• Support students with their learning, encouraging participation and resilience
  
• Provide feedback to teaching staff on student engagement and behaviour during cover lessons
  
• Step up when needed – from mentoring small groups to supporting with intervention and enrichment sessions
  

Who We’re Looking For:

• Graduates in Education, Psychology, English, Maths, Science, Humanities or related fields
  
• Confident communicators with the presence to lead a classroom – teaching experience not required!
  
• Flexible, reliable, and calm under pressure
  
• Passionate about working with young people and making a positive impact on their education
  
• Experience in a school, youth work, tutoring or coaching environment is a bonus (but not essential)
  
• Willing to learn – full training and ongoing CPD provided
  

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Perfect stepping stone for those considering teacher training or careers in education
  
• Build real classroom experience with the support of experienced staff and leadership teams
  
• Progression routes available – from Cover Supervisor to HLTA, subject specialist or teacher
  
• Be part of a supportive, inclusive school community where your contribution is valued
  
• Work in a dynamic London secondary school where no two days are the same
  

Requirements

Requirements:

• Graduates in Education, Psychology, English, Maths, Science, Humanities or related fields
  
• Flexible, reliable, and calm under pressure
  
• Passionate about working with young people and making a positive impact on their education
  

Benefits

You don’t need to be a qualified teacher to lead a class.
If you’re passionate, proactive, and ready to step into a role that builds confidence and skills – for you and your students – we’d love to hear from you.

Apply today and take your first step into teaching in London.

Requirements
Cover Supervisors must have strong classroom management skills and the confidence to lead lessons across a variety of subjects. Clear communication and the ability to engage students effectively are essential. They should be adaptable, reliable, and capable of following lesson plans left by absent teachers. Experience working with secondary-aged pupils is preferred, though not always required. A calm, professional manner and a genuine interest in supporting student learning are key to success in this role.
