This is an excellent opportunity for graduates considering teaching, experienced education professionals seeking flexibility, or individuals with transferable experience working with young people. Flexible day-to-day supply, long-term placements and permanent opportunities are available.

The Role

As a Cover Supervisor, you will supervise classes during teacher absences and ensure students remain focused on pre-planned work.

Previous Cover Supervisor experience is helpful but not essential. More importantly, you should be confident, adaptable and able to establish clear expectations with secondary-aged students.

• Experience working with children or young people


• Confidence communicating with groups of students


• A calm, professional and resilient approach
