What is a Cover Supervisor?
A Cover Supervisor steps in when the regular teacher is absent, ensuring pupils remain engaged and on task. You won’t be expected to plan or mark work – lessons are pre-prepared – but you will be responsible for creating a calm, focused learning environment.

* Managing classroom behaviour in line with school policies
* Supporting pupils with their learning and responding to questions
* Collecting completed work and passing it back to subject teachers
* Reporting any concerns or incidents through the school’s referral systems
This is a highly rewarding role that gives you genuine classroom leadership experience, without the pressures of planning or assessment.

We require at least 3 months’ experience working with young people (ages 11–16) in an educational or similar setting. This could include:
* Tutoring or mentoring
* Sports coaching or youth work
* Classroom assistant or teaching support roles
* Experience in care or behaviour support
Key skills:
✔️ Confidence to lead a class independently
✔️ Good organisation and communication skills
✔️ A professional, resilient approach
✔️ Enthusiasm to inspire and motivate pupils
