Cover Supervisor – Future Teacher Programme
South Yorkshire & Derbyshire | £20,000–£24,000 | Start ASAP
Thinking about becoming a teacher? This role could be the perfect stepping stone.
We’re working with a number of fantastic secondary schools across South Yorkshire and Derbyshire who are welcoming graduates ready to dip their toe into teaching life. As a Cover Supervisor, you’ll take the reins in the classroom—delivering pre-set lessons, keeping students engaged, and managing behaviour with calm confidence.
No planning. No marking. Just you, leading learning in a structured and supportive environment.
What you’ll be doing:
1. Supervising whole classes across a range of subjects
2. Delivering pre-prepared lessons (no planning required!)
3. Managing behaviour positively and professionally
4. Gaining invaluable classroom experience
Why schools love this programme:
Schools see you as a future teacher—and they’ll back you accordingly. Expect hands-on support, training in behaviour management, and the chance to gain experience in your specialist subject area if you have one.
You’ll be great if you:
5. Have some experience in a school setting or working with young people
6. Are confident speaking to groups and happy leading the room
7. Can stay cool under pressure and build quick rapport
8. Have a subject specialism (not essential, but a big plus!)

Monday–Friday or minimum 3 days/week
⏰ 8:15am–3:30pm
Term time only
Salary dependent on experience
