About the Role
As a Cover Supervisor, you’ll step into the classroom when teachers are absent, delivering pre-set work and maintaining a focused, supportive learning environment. It’s a dynamic, rewarding role that gives you a true feel for school life — without the planning and marking responsibilities of a full-time teacher.

Supervising students in the absence of a classroom teacher
Ensuring set work is completed and classroom behaviour is well managed
Encouraging a calm, productive learning atmosphere
Supporting the wider school community and adapting to different subject areas
Reporting back to teaching staff and pastoral teams on student progress and behaviour
What We’re Looking For
A confident and professional communicator
Experience working with young people (school, sports coaching, youth work, tutoring etc.) is desirable
Someone reliable, flexible, and enthusiastic
A genuine interest in education and supporting student development
You must be eligible to work in the UK and be willing to undergo a DBS check

Flexible working to suit your lifestyle — part-time or full-time availability welcomed
No marking, planning or long-term commitment unless you want it
