Cover Supervisor – Primary School PE Support
Love sport? Great with kids? Fancy a role where no two days look the same?
We’re working with a welcoming primary school in Grays looking for a confident and energetic Cover Supervisor to join their team. This role is perfect for someone with a background in sports coaching, PE, youth work, or similar hands-on roles who’s ready to bring that same enthusiasm into the classroom.
You’ll mainly support PE lessons and active learning across the school, but flexibility is key. Some days, you may be asked to step into the classroom to supervise lessons, support learning, or keep things running smoothly when teachers are away. Think adaptable, calm under pressure, and ready to jump in where needed.
What you’ll be doing:
Supporting PE lessons and encouraging pupil participation
Delivering sports activities and promoting teamwork and confidence
Supervising classes during teacher absences
Keeping pupils engaged, focused, and on task
Supporting behaviour management in a positive and professional way
Being a reliable extra pair of hands across the school day
We’re looking for someone who:
Has experience in sports coaching, PE, youth work, or similar roles
Feels confident leading groups of children
Can adapt quickly and think on their feet
Is happy to support both in PE and in the classroom when needed
Brings positive energy and a team-player attitude
Has experience working with primary-aged children (preferred but not essential)
