Cover Supervisor Potential Teacher Training

Are you a recent graduate with a passion for education and a desire to inspire young minds? Are you considering a career in teaching? We have an exciting opportunity for you to join our dynamic team as a Graduate Cover Supervisor with the potential for future teacher training. This role offers hands-on classroom experience and a unique opportunity to explore the teaching profession in a supportive school environment.

For the right candidate, there is a clear progression pathway to Initial Teacher Training (ITT) through Educate's own SCITT programme leading to QTS. We provide comprehensive training to help you develop classroom management skills, along with mentorship from experienced teaching professionals. This will prepare you for a potential career in teaching. You will have the chance to collaborate with staff, engage with students, and contribute to the overall school community.

Managing student behaviour, keeping students on task, and ensuring a positive learning environment are all essential aspects of this role. We are looking for graduates from any subject discipline who are passionate about education and interested in gaining practical classroom experience. You should possess strong communication skills, confidence in managing groups of students, and a proactive, enthusiastic attitude. While prior experience in an educational setting is helpful, it is not essential. What matters most is your commitment to supporting students and a genuine interest in pursuing a teaching career.

• Run by a leading team of experienced Teachers, Senior Leaders and Support Staff with over 85+ years of combined education experience.
• Committed to providing employment, free coaching, training and support to our team of staff.
• Work as often and flexibly as you like to achieve a work-life balance.
• Build relevant classroom-based experience with reputable schools across the area.
• Opportunity to apply for your initial teacher training with Educate ITT and one of their link schools.
• Opportunities to move into a permanent position - should one become available.

• Supervise classes and deliver pre-prepared lessons in the absence of a teacher.
• Ensure that students are engaged, motivated and on task.
• Manage any behaviour issues that may arise.
• Follow school policies and procedures.
• Maintain accurate records of student progress.

• A degree or Level 3 qualification with solid standards of literacy and numeracy.
• Experience working or volunteering with children or young people.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• The ability to manage behaviour effectively.
• A positive attitude and a willingness to learn.
• Flexibility and adaptability.
