Daily Rate: £130 – £150 (PAYE)
Are you confident leading a classroom and maintaining a positive learning environment?
Are you an ECT looking to gain valuable classroom experience before securing your first teaching role?
Would you like flexible, long-term work in supportive schools across Glastonbury and nearby areas?
TeacherActive is working with a number of well-respected secondary schools in Glastonbury and the surrounding areas, seeking enthusiastic and professional Cover Supervisors to start immediately. These schools are known for their supportive leadership teams and inclusive environments — ideal settings for those looking to build confidence and experience in the classroom.
This is a particularly great opportunity for ECTs who want to gain hands-on experience, develop classroom management skills, and get a real feel for different school settings before stepping into a permanent teaching role.
The Role:
As a Cover Supervisor, you’ll deliver pre-set lessons in the absence of a class teacher, manage classroom behaviour, and support students aged 11–16 across a variety of subjects. There is no planning or marking required, making this an excellent entry point for ECTs looking to ease into full-time teaching responsibilities.
What We’re Looking For:
A CACHE Level 2/3 qualification or a minimum of 6 months’ classroom-based experience
Confidence leading lessons across different key stages (11–16)
Strong behaviour management and communication skills
A professional, proactive approach with a passion for education
Availability to start immediately and commit to a consistent role
ECTs are strongly encouraged to apply – this is a perfect opportunity to build your teaching portfolio
What We Offer:
Long-term Cover Supervisor roles across Glastonbury and surrounding areas
Competitive daily pay of £130–£150, paid weekly via PAYE – no hidden fees
Free access to CPD through the My-Progression platform
Supportive schools ideal for ECTs who want to develop confidence and skills
Dedicated 1-to-1 support from your specialist education consultant
Guaranteed Payment Scheme available (T&Cs apply)
£100 referral bonus when you refer another great ECT or educator (T&Cs apply)
