Fancy stepping into the classroom without the pressure of planning?
We’re working with a thriving secondary school in Wiltshire that’s looking for a confident and reliable Cover Supervisor (or unqualified teacher with strong classroom presence) to join them full-time from September.
You’ll be leading pre-planned lessons, keeping students on track, and making sure learning continues smoothly when teachers are away. If you’ve got experience working with young people and can command a room with calm confidence, this could be your perfect next move.
Dont worry about not being an expert in every subject (nobody is). The work that is left will be easy to follow and the students will be able to get on. You're role is to facilitate and ensure everything runs smoothly.
We can also provide FREE COVER SUPERVISOR TRAINING so you can be best prepared for your new role!
What the school offers:
1. Supportive team and clear behaviour systems
2. Well-resourced classrooms and strong routines
3. A welcoming environment with ongoing development opportunities
4. A chance to gain valuable experience before teacher training (if that’s your goal!)
What we’re looking for:
5. Experience working with secondary-aged students (in schools, youth work, tutoring, or similar)
6. Confidence managing behaviour and leading a class solo
7. Adaptability and a proactive attitude, you’ll need to think on your feet
8. Someone who enjoys variety and thrives on building rapport with students
This is a great stepping-stone for aspiring teachers, or anyone with strong communication and people skills who enjoys working with young people.
