Job Description

Fancy being the calm, confident presence in the classroom when teachers are away?

If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to work in a school, but I’m not quite ready to teach full-time”, this could be your perfect in.

We’re working with a range of welcoming secondary schools looking for reliable, adaptable Cover Supervisors to keep lessons running smoothly. No planning marathons, no late-night marking, just you, the classroom, and the chance to make a real difference in a student’s day.

What you’ll be doing:

Stepping into the classroom and delivering pre-set lessons across a range of subjects
Keeping students focused, engaged, and on track
Managing behaviour with confidence (you’ve got this, and we’ll support you)
Being that steady, approachable adult students can rely on
Feeding back to teaching staff at the end of the day
Think of it as being the director of the classroom for the day, the script’s already written, you just bring it to life.

What the schools are looking for:

Experience working with young people (schools, coaching, youth work, tutoring, or similar)
Confidence leading a room and thinking on your feet
Strong communication skills and a calm, positive approach
A genuine interest in education
No teaching qualification? No problem. Many of our best Cover Supervisors started exactly where you are now.

What you’ll get:

Flexible work that fits around your life, choose your days
A variety of schools, so no two weeks feel the same
Friendly, local consultants who actually listen (no chasing for bookings)
Opportunities to move into teaching, TA roles, or long-term placements
Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella faff
FREE access to our CPD Academy to build your skills and confidence

Why Cover Supervision?

It’s a brilliant way to:

Gain hands-on classroom experience
Build confidence before teacher training
Stay connected to education without the full-time pressure
And honestly? There’s nothing quite like that moment when a class settles, gets stuck in, and you realise… you’ve got this.

Thinking about your next step in education?

Let’s find you a role that fits, not just your CV, but your confidence, your goals, and your day-to-day life.

Apply now or drop us a message for a chat, no pressure, just honest advice and real opportunities.
