Cover Supervisor – Supply (Flexible Work Available)
📍 Location: Derby
💷 Pay: £95.00 - £120.00
Are you confident managing a classroom and looking for flexible work in education?
We’re working with a number of secondary schools across Derby who are looking for reliable and adaptable Cover Supervisors to support them on a day-to-day, short-term and long-term basis.
About the Role
As a Cover Supervisor, you’ll step into the classroom in the absence of a teacher and deliver pre-set work. This is a great opportunity if you’re considering a career in teaching or already have experience working with young people.
You will be responsible for:
* Supervising whole classes and ensuring students stay on task
* Delivering pre-prepared lesson materials
* Managing behaviour in line with school policies
* Providing a calm, structured learning environment
What We Do (And What to Expect)
We’re an education recruitment agency, which means we work closely with schools to provide staff when they need additional support — whether that’s for a day, a term, or longer.
As part of the wider Operam Education Group, we support schools across the North and Midlands and have built strong, long-term relationships with them.
👉 The reality of supply work:
* Some weeks are busier than others
* You may travel to different schools
* Work can be flexible, but not always guaranteed every day
👉 The benefits:
* You choose when and where you work
* A great way to gain classroom experience
* Opportunities to move into long-term or permanent roles
* Exposure to a variety of school settings
We’re honest about supply — it’s not always predictable, but for many people, the flexibility and experience make it incredibly valuable.

What We’re Looking For
* Experience working with young people (schools, coaching, youth work, etc.)
* Confidence managing groups of students
* Strong communication and behaviour management skills
* A flexible and proactive approach
What We Offer
* Flexible work to fit around your schedule
* Opportunities across multiple schools
* Ongoing support from a dedicated consultant
* Clear communication and honest feedback
* Potential for long-term and permanent placements
