Cover Teacher

Location: Northampton
Start Date: September 2025 (or sooner by negotiation)
Contract: Full-time | Fixed-Term and Long-Term Opportunities Available
Salary: MPS/UPS (dependent on experience and contract length)

We are actively seeking committed and adaptable Full-Time Cover Teachers with subject specialisms to join our teaching team for mid- to long-term placements in secondary schools across Northampton. These roles are ideal for subject-qualified teachers who are confident delivering across their specialism while stepping in to support broader curriculum cover when needed.

• Provide general subject cover where necessary, using pre-prepared materials

• Ensure continuity of learning and behaviour expectations in the absence of regular teachers

• Contribute to departmental planning and assessments where appropriate for longer-term roles

• Build positive relationships with students, maintaining a calm and consistent classroom environment

• Engage in school life and uphold safeguarding and behaviour policies

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)

• Specialism in a core or EBacc subject (English, Maths, Science, Humanities, MFL, or similar)

• Experience teaching KS3 and/or KS4

• A flexible and professional approach to teaching in varied contexts

• Strong classroom management and the ability to build quick rapport with pupils

• Commitment to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of young people

• Full-time, longer-term opportunities with the potential to lead to permanent roles

• Access to a range of placements in supportive and well-managed Northamptonshire schools

• Opportunity to teach your specialism while contributing across the wider curriculum

• Professional development and mentoring if required

• Competitive pay rates aligned with teaching scale
