Cover Supervisor (Science Specialism) - Lancaster

Location: Lancaster, Lancashire

Start Date: ASAP

Duration: Temporary (Until July 2026), with a strong view to extend from September to December 2026

Salary: £117.25 - 144.60 per day 

Contract Type: Full-time, Mainstream Secondary

The Opportunity

Are you a confident individual looking to gain valuable classroom experience, or a Science graduate seeking a stepping stone into teaching? A supportive and high-achieving mainstream secondary school in Lancaster is looking for a Cover Supervisor to join their team immediately.

While you will cover a variety of subjects across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4, there is a strong emphasis on delivering Science cover lessons. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a Science background or a Science degree to utilise their knowledge to keep pupils engaged and on-track. The role runs until the end of the academic year, with a planned extension into the next term (September-December).

Key Responsibilities

Classroom Management: Oversee pre-set Science lessons (and other subjects when required), ensuring students remain focused, safe, and on-task.

Deliver Content: Present instructions and learning materials clearly to pupils, answering basic questions-particularly in Science subjects-to support their understanding.

Maintain Environment: Implement the school's behaviour policy consistently and foster a positive learning atmosphere.

Feedback: Collect completed work at the end of the lesson and provide constructive feedback to the returning class teacher.

What We Are Looking For

Experience working with groups of children or young people (e.g., coaching, tutoring, camp leading, or prior school experience).

A degree in a scientific discipline (Biology, Chemistry, or Physics) is highly desirable and an excellent option for this role.

High emotional intelligence, confidence, and strong communication skills.

Flexibility and the ability to adapt quickly to a bustling school environment.

A current enhanced DBS check on the Update Service (or willingness to apply for one).

What the School Offers

Competitive Pay: Paid to scale based on your experience.

Career Progression: Ideal preparation for anyone considering a PGCE or School Direct teacher training pathway.

Consistency: A reliable, full-time placement that bridges two academic years.

Supportive Environment: A welcoming staff team and full orientation into the school's systems and behavioural policies.

If you are a resourceful, proactive individual ready to make an immediate impact in Lancaster, we would love to hear from you.
