Job Description
Location: Westminster
Contract: Full-time | Long-term
Salary: Competitive | Based on experience
Start Date: ASAP
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
  

Requirements

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
  

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.
