Cover Supervisor - Flexible Supply Opportunities from September 2026

Are you looking for flexible education work within a welcoming and supportive secondary school this September?

I am currently working with a highly regarded secondary school in the West Midlands, who are looking to appoint confident and reliable Cover Supervisors for flexible day-to-day and short-term supply opportunities.

This is a fantastic opportunity for experienced Cover Supervisors, graduates considering a career in teaching, or individuals with previous experience supporting young people who are looking for flexible work within a positive school environment.

The role offers pre-booked supply opportunities wherever possible, allowing you to plan your working week around your availability. You will play an important role in maintaining continuity for students by delivering pre-planned lessons, supporting learning and creating a positive classroom environment.

The school has developed an excellent reputation for its strong values, high expectations and supportive culture. As part of a successful local trust, the school benefits from a collaborative approach while maintaining its own strong identity and community feel.

Rated Good by Ofsted, the school provides a calm and respectful learning environment where behaviour is consistently strong. Staff are supported by a dedicated leadership team and work together to ensure students are encouraged to achieve their full potential.

The successful Cover Supervisor will have:

• Previous experience working with young people in a school or educational setting.
• Confidence delivering pre-planned lessons and managing classroom behaviour.
• Strong communication and organisational skills.
• The ability to build positive relationships with pupils and staff.
• A flexible, reliable and proactive approach.
• An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or be willing to obtain one).

In return for the above, you can expect to receive:

• Flexible work to suit your availability.
• Pre-booked day-to-day and short-term supply opportunities wherever possible.
• A dedicated team of consultants available 24/7 to support you through the onboarding process.
• CPD Courses and certificates as part of the My-Progression channel.
• Market-leading rates of pay.
• TeacherActive Referral Scheme – Receive up to £100 when you refer a friend (Terms and Conditions apply).
• Our staff are paid on a PAYE basis, so you can rest assured that you're paying the right level of TAX and National Insurance with no hidden admin charges.
