What is a Cover Supervisor?

A cover supervisor, supervises a class when a regular teacher is absent, ensuring students complete pre-prepared work and maintaining classroom order.

This is a fantastic opportunity for graduates, aspiring teachers, or individuals with experience working with young people to gain hands-on experience in the classroom.

As a Cover Supervisor, you will:

Deliver pre-set lessons and supervise classes in the absence of the regular teacher

Provide support to students as needed and liaise with teaching staff
Report back to staff on behaviour and progress

Ideal skills and attributes

Strong communication and behaviour management skills
Confidence working with secondary-aged students (11-16)
Flexibility, reliability, and a positive attitude
Experience working in schools or with young people is desirable but not essential
A degree or transferable qualification is advantageous, but not required
