About the Role
Milk Education is proud to be working closely with a network of supportive and forward-thinking secondary schools across Wakefield and South Leeds, including Outwood Academies, Brigshaw High School and Sherburn High School. We’re looking for confident, adaptable Cover Supervisors who are ready to make a positive impact in the classroom.
This is an excellent opportunity if you’re considering a career in teaching, already working with young people, or simply looking for flexible, rewarding work in schools.
As a Cover Supervisor, you’ll step into the classroom during short-term teacher absences, ensuring learning continues smoothly and students remain engaged. No planning, marking or teaching qualification required – just confidence, strong communication skills, and the ability to build positive relationships with secondary-aged students.
What You’ll Be Doing
1. Supervising classes using pre-prepared lesson materials across a range of subjects
2. Creating a calm, focused and positive learning environment
3. Managing classroom behaviour in line with school policies
4. Supporting students to stay engaged and on task
5. Providing feedback to teaching staff where appropriate
Who We’re Looking For
This role is ideal if you have:
6. Experience working with young people (education, youth work, tutoring, mentoring, sports coaching, or similar)
7. Confidence working with students aged 11–16
8. Strong communication and organisational skills
9. A professional, flexible and proactive attitude
10. An interest in education or teacher training (desirable, but not essential)
Why Work with Milk Education?
11. Competitive daily pay, paid weekly
12. Flexible working options – full-time, part-time or day-to-day supply
13. Valuable school-based experience across Wakefield and South Leeds
14. Free CPD and training courses to support your development
15. Ongoing guidance and support from your dedicated Milk Education consultant
