Job description
Cover Supervisor - Specialist Girls' Provision (SEMH / SEND)
Role: Cover Supervisor
Key Stage: KS3 / KS4
Start Date: April 2026
Location: Bedfordshire
Are you confident leading a classroom, steady in challenging situations, and motivated by the opportunity to support young women with complex needs? Do you want a role where your presence, patience and consistency truly matter?
Aspire People are partnering with a specialist provision in Bedfordshire that supports young women who are currently unable to access mainstream education due to social, emotional and mental health needs. Many students have experienced significant adversity and benefit from a calm, structured setting where trust is built gradually and progress is personalised.
As a Cover Supervisor, you will provide stability and continuity across the school day, delivering pre-set lessons, supporting learning, and helping students feel safe, respected and understood. Class sizes are small (up to 10 pupils), allowing you to focus on relationship-building and positive behaviour support.
