Long-Term Cover Supervisor

Long-Term Cover Supervisor

Location: Ulverston area, Cumbria

Start Date: September

Duration: 12-Month Contract (Long-Term)

Working Pattern: Full-Time, 5 days a week (Term Time Only)

Salary: £100 - £145 per day (dependent on experience)

About the Role

Are you a confident, adaptable individual looking for a rewarding role in education? An excellent opportunity has arisen for a dedicated Cover Supervisor to join a vibrant secondary school environment in the Ulverston area for the full academic year.

This is an ideal role for experienced cover supervisors, higher-level teaching assistants (HLTAs), or graduates looking to gain valuable classroom experience before pursuing a career in teaching.

As a Cover Supervisor, you will not be required to plan or mark lessons. Instead, your primary focus will be leading the classroom and ensuring students remain focused and engaged.

Key Responsibilities:

Supervise whole classes across Key Stages 3 and 4 during the short-term absence of teachers.

Deliver pre-set lesson plans and learning activities left by the subject teacher.

Maintain a constructive, safe, and positive learning environment by managing student behaviour in line with school policies.

Assist students with any general questions regarding the work.

Collect completed work at the end of the lesson and provide brief feedback to the returning teacher.

What We Are Looking For:

Experience: Previous experience working with young people aged 11-16 (e.g., coaching, youth work, camp leading, or classroom support) is highly desirable.

Qualifications: A strong standard of education (minimum 5 GCSEs at Grade C/4 or above, including English and Maths). A university degree is a plus but not essential.

Skills: Strong communication skills, resilience, flexibility, and a confident classroom presence.

Compliance: Must hold an enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or be willing to apply for a new one).

Why Apply?

Consistency: Secure a stable, full-time placement for a full 12 months.

No Out-of-Hours Work: Enjoy the benefit of no lesson planning, resource preparation, or marking.

Local Opportunity: Work in a supportive school community within the beautiful Ulverston area.

Career Development: Gain hands-on classroom management experience.
