About the role

First Call Employment is building a pool of reliable Cover Supervisors for a secondary school in Horsham, ahead of the new academic year. You'll supervise classes in the absence of the regular teacher, delivering pre-set work and keeping lessons on track — no planning, no marking.

Bookings range from same-day cover to longer-term placements, so this suits anyone who wants flexible work on their terms: pick up days that fit your week, with the option of extended bookings when they arise.

What you'll do

• Supervise whole classes during short-term teacher absence, delivering work set by the school


• Manage classroom behavior in line with the school's behavior policy


• Take registers, maintain a safe and orderly learning environment, and report back on the lesson


• Support the wider school day where required

What we're looking for

• Experience working with young people in a school, youth, sports coaching or similar setting (cover supervision or TA experience a strong advantage)


• Confident classroom presence and solid behavior management


• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one (we'll guide you through it)


• Two professional references and the right to work in the UK

Why work with us

• Competitive daily rates — £95–£115, above the local average


• Weekly pay, PAYE, no umbrella deductions


• 24-hour support line — a real person, whenever you need us


• Consistent work from September through a dedicated local consultant


• Free registration and full compliance support

If you are hardworking, take pride in your work, we’d love to hear from you!
