We are currently seeking resilient, proactive Part-Time Cover Supervisors to provide flexible daily and ad-hoc cover at a well-regarded secondary academy in Blackpool. This role is perfect if you want to work between 1 to 4 days per week on your own terms. As a Cover Supervisor, you will step into Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 classrooms to manage pre-set lessons in the absence of the regular class teacher.

Whether you are an experienced cover supervisor, a sports coach, a former youth worker, or a graduate building secondary experience, this role offers fantastic flexibility and valuable classroom exposure.
Key Responsibilities
- Take charge of Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 classes, ensuring pre-planned lesson activities are explained and completed efficiently.
- Maintain high standards of classroom discipline by applying the academy's behaviour framework consistently and encouraging positive student effort.
- Circulate the room to keep pupils focused, on task, and working safely.
- Leave comprehensive feedback notes for returning staff regarding lesson progress, attendance, and notable student achievements or issues.
- Uphold strict safeguarding procedures and promote pupil welfare across all activities.

- Able to transition smoothly between different academic departments and age groups at short notice.
- Skilled at building fast, positive rapport with secondary-aged pupils and school staff.
- Able to handle unexpected classroom situations with a calm, level-headed approach.
