Tradewind Recruitment are seeking a confident, enthusiastic and adaptable Cover Supervisor to work within a specialist school supporting children and young people with a range of complex special educational needs and disabilities. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working with young people, building positive relationships and keeping pupils engaged in learning. Former sports coaches are particularly encouraged to apply, as skills in communication, behaviour management, teamwork and motivating young people can transfer exceptionally well into this role.
The Role - Cover Supervisor
- Supervising classes and delivering pre-planned learning activities.
- Keeping pupils engaged, motivated and focused on their learning.
- Promoting positive behaviour and maintaining a supportive classroom environment.
- Adapting your approach to meet pupils' individual learning and communication needs.

- Working alongside teachers and support staff to ensure continuity of learning.
Who We're Looking For
We’re interested in candidates with experience in education, youth work, sports coaching, mentoring or other roles involving young people. Former sports coaches could be particularly well suited to this position, bringing confidence, leadership, clear communication and the ability to motivate individuals with different needs. You should be patient, resilient, proactive and comfortable adapting to a specialist SEN environment. Previous SEN experience is beneficial but transferable skills and the right attitude are equally important. Full-time availability is strongly preferred, helping provide consistency for pupils and the wider school team.
Pay - £95-£130 Per Day
Your daily rate will depend on relevant experience, qualifications and suitability for the role. Candidates with strong transferable skills, relevant experience and full-time availability may be considered for the higher end of the scale, subject to the school's available budget.
