We are currently looking to recruit enthusiastic, reliable, and committed Secondary Cover Supervisors to support our partner schools from October 2026.

If you have a genuine passion for helping young people succeed and enjoy working in a school environment, we'd love to hear from you.

The Role

As a Cover Supervisor, you will supervise classes in the absence of the regular teacher, delivering pre-planned lessons and ensuring students remain engaged with their learning. You'll play an important role in maintaining a positive classroom environment and supporting pupils to achieve their best.

We have opportunities for:

• Long-term placements.
• Short-term assignments.
• Day-to-day emergency cover, including early morning calls to cover staff sickness.

We Are Looking For Someone Who:

• Has a genuine passion for supporting children and their learning.
• Can confidently deliver planned lessons across a range of secondary subjects.
• Has excellent classroom management skills.
• Can build positive and professional relationships with both pupils and school staff.
• Is flexible and enjoys working in different school settings.
• Is reliable, punctual, and committed to providing schools with consistent support.

Essential Requirements

• Availability to work from October 2026.
• Willingness to accept both planned bookings and last-time sickness cover.
• Consistency and reliability are essential, particularly during the winter months when demand for cover staff is at its highest.
• A full UK driving licence and access to your own transport, as some of our partner schools are located in rural areas and are not easily accessible by public transport.

Why Join Aspire People?

• Access a variety of opportunities to suit your availability and career goals.
• Gain experience in welcoming supportive schools where you can make a real difference.
• Be supported by a dedicated local consultant who understands the schools and your individual preferences.
