Job description

SEMH Cover Supervisor

At Tradewind Recruitment, we believe every young person deserves a chance to thrive, no matter their background or challenges. We work closely with a network of specialist and alternative provisions across Bristol, connecting caring, resilient and adaptable people with opportunities to make a real impact every single day.

We're currently looking for a dedicated SEMH Cover Supervisor to work across multiple specialist settings in Bristol. This is an exciting and varied role where no two days are the same - you'll be supporting young people with social, emotional and mental health needs, helping them re‑engage with learning in a safe, supportive and structured environment.

The young people you'll be supporting have often faced barriers to learning due to social, emotional and mental health needs. Many have experienced trauma, disrupted education or difficulties with emotional regulation. They may display challenging behaviour, struggle to trust adults, or find traditional classroom environments overwhelming.

As an SEMH Cover Supervisor, you'll:

• Step into classrooms to provide continuity of learning when teachers are absent
• Build strong, trusting relationships with students
• Promote positive behaviour and emotional regulation
• Adapt lessons and approaches to meet individual needs
• Work closely with teaching and pastoral staff to support each learner's progress

Why work with us?

• Your income matters; we will always seek to get you the highest rate of pay and will provide you with the best possible advice
• Your development matters; we offer our people free access to over 2,500 CPD courses, webinars and resources via the incredible National College
• Your flexibility matters; we tailor the working week to you - daily supply, long‑term contracts and permanent positions all available, all local to you
• Your wellbeing matters; we put people at the heart of everything we do and are proudly a Sunday Times Top 100 employer for 4 years running.
• We pride ourselves on our exceptional service to our candidates and are proudly an Equal Opportunities Employer.

If you're passionate about making a difference and ready to take on a rewarding challenge, we'd love to hear from you.
