As a Cover Supervisor, you will supervise classes during the short-term absence of teaching staff, ensuring that students remain engaged in their learning.

3. Support students to remain focused and on-task during lessons.
4. Follow school policies and procedures at all times.
5. Provide feedback to the teacher or department about student progress where appropriate.
About You
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
6. Experience working with young people (youth work, tutoring, mentoring, or classroom support).
7. Strong communication and organisational skills.
8. Confidence in managing groups of students aged 11–16.
9. A positive, flexible, and professional approach.
10. An interest in pursuing a career in education (desirable but not essential).
What We Offer
11. Competitive daily pay rates, paid weekly.
12. Flexible work to fit around your lifestyle – full-time, part-time, or day-to-day.
13. Opportunities to gain school-based experience across a variety of settings.
