Job Description
Make Every Day Different. Make Every Classroom Count.
If you thrive on variety, love stepping into new environments, and enjoy the buzz of helping young people learn, this role is made for you.
New Directions is looking for adaptable, confident, and genuinely enthusiastic Cover Teachers to join our team and support schools across Cheshire East. You’ll be the person who keeps learning on track when teachers are away — stepping in with energy, calm, and a sense of purpose.
Whether you prefer the curiosity of KS1, the growing independence of KS3, or the challenge and reward of mixed specialist settings, you’ll have the flexibility to experience it all.
What Makes This Role Rewarding?
As a Cover Teacher, you’re not just “holding the fort.” You’re shaping moments that matter — helping pupils stay engaged, feel supported, and keep progressing. You’ll walk into each day knowing you’re making a real impact.
You’ll deliver pre-prepared work, bring lessons to life in your own style, and build quick, positive relationships with pupils and staff. If you enjoy thinking on your feet and making learning enjoyable, you will absolutely shine here.
We’d Love to Hear From You If You:
• Are a qualified teacher who enjoys teaching across KS1–KS4
• Have strong classroom management and a calm, reassuring presence
• Can adapt quickly to different age groups and subjects
• Are reliable, flexible, and confident taking on last-minute cover
• Bring enthusiasm, positivity, and passion to every lesson
What You’ll Be Doing:
• Delivering engaging, meaningful lessons across a wide range of subjects
• Following school-provided plans — or adding your own spark when needed
• Creating an inclusive, supportive classroom atmosphere
• Upholding school behaviour, safeguarding, and learning policies
• Building great relationships wherever you go
• Representing New Directions with professionalism, warmth, and flexibility
Why Join New Directions?
• Total flexibility — choose when and where you work
• Variety guaranteed — experience everything from EYFS to KS4
• Develop your practice across different schools and settings
• Support that actually supports you — from a friendly, dedicated team
• Be valued as a key part of our trusted education community
• Competitive Pay, we value the experience you bring to our classrooms
