Job description

Secondary Cover Supervisor

Are you looking for a rewarding role where no two days are the same? Do you want to make a difference in young people’s lives while having the flexibility to balance work with your personal commitments? This could be the perfect opportunity for you!

What does a Cover Supervisor do?

As a Cover Supervisor, you’ll step into the classroom when teachers are absent, ensuring lessons continue smoothly. Your role involves:

• Delivering pre-set lesson plans to classes
• Managing classroom behaviour confidently and calmly
• Encouraging and supporting students to stay on task
• Creating a positive, engaging environment

Why become a Cover Supervisor?

• No formal qualifications needed — your life experience counts!
• Flexible work — choose the days that suit you. If you want to work in the same school 5 days a week, we can look for that. If you want to do 2/3 days a week, that is also fine. If you are happy doing daily supply and working in various schools, that is also fine with us. We work with you and your availability.
• Perfect for gaining experience in schools — ideal if you’re considering a future in teaching or education.
• Perfect if you are an experienced Teacher/Educator and want to move to part-time.
• No planning and marking.

Key Qualities We’re Looking For:

• Experience working with children or young people — this could be in a school, sports club, youth group, or similar setting.
• A good sense of humour and a positive personality — you’ll connect with students and staff alike.
• Confidence in managing behaviour — you’ll lead the classroom with authority and empathy.

If you are not in the Salisbury area and cannot travel, we also work with all Secondary schools throughout Wiltshire, Bath/NE Somerset, Bristol, Swindon, Somerset, and Gloucester. So please still apply; there is a school and role for you.

If you’re ready to step into an exciting, flexible role that fits around your life — and you’re passionate about helping young people succeed — we’d love to hear from you!

What We Offer You:

• Competitive pay rates through PAYE — because your talent deserves to be rewarded.
• A flexible work-life balance that fits around your commitments — you’re in control.
• Ongoing support from our friendly team of consultants — we’ve got your back.
• Opportunities to fast-track your career — today’s supply role could be tomorrow’s permanent position.
