Are you a team leader, manager, or confident professional looking to take your first step into education? Have you considered teaching or working in schools but want to gain hands-on experience before committing to a PGCE or long-term career change?
Vision for Education is working in partnership with a supportive secondary school to recruit Cover Supervisors to work across secondary schools on a supply basis, with opportunities for daily cover and longer fixed-term assignments. This role is an excellent entry point into education and is ideal for individuals who enjoy leading, motivating others, and working with young people.
The School
- You will be working within welcoming and well-organised secondary schools that place a strong emphasis on staff support, behaviour consistency, and safeguarding.
- Schools offer:
- Clear behaviour and safeguarding systems
- Supportive senior leadership teams
- Structured lesson plans provided in advance
- Staff who value collaboration and communication
- A positive environment where Cover Supervisors feel part of the team
These schools are experienced in supporting Cover Supervisors and understand the importance of guidance, consistency, and clear expectations.
The Role
- As a Cover Supervisor, you will:
- Supervise classes of around 30 students in the absence of the class teacher
- Deliver pre-planned lessons across a range of secondary subjects
- Manage classroom behaviour and maintain a positive learning environment
- Take accurate registers and ensure safeguarding procedures are followed
- Provide clear handover notes for the returning teacher
You are not expected to be a subject specialist — your role is to confidently lead the classroom and ensure learning continues.
