Have you worked with children in a previous role?

Have you worked as a sports coach and would now like to gain experience of working in a school setting?

Are you looking to get into teaching?

The successful Cover Supervisor will work within a secondary school environment, supervising pupils across Key Stage 3 (KS3) and Key Stage 4 (KS4) and providing flexible support to cover short-term staff absence.

You will be responsible for delivering pre-planned lessons, ensuring pupils remain engaged and on task while their usual teacher is unavailable. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to gain valuable classroom experience and develop their career within education.

This role offers flexibility and can be ad-hoc, short-term or ongoing, depending on your availability and the needs of the school.

You do not need to hold a teaching qualification, but you must be able to demonstrate that you have previously worked with children or young people in some capacity, such as a youth worker, sports coach, support worker, teaching assistant, volunteer or similar role.

Training can also be provided to help develop your classroom and behaviour management techniques.

• Be confident supervising pupils and managing behaviour in a classroom environment.
• Be reliable, adaptable and able to use your own initiative.
• Ideally hold a degree, although this is not essential.
• Be interested in developing a career within education.

• Excellent daily rates paid using the PAYE system. (Daily rate is subject to your scale rate, experience in role and qualifications, which will be discussed at the point of registration.)
