Are you confident working with young people and looking for a rewarding role in education? Mana Education is recruiting Cover Supervisors for opportunities in Nottingham and surrounding areas.
Whether you're an experienced Cover Supervisor, a Teaching Assistant ready for more responsibility, or considering a career in teaching, we'd like to hear from you.
You don't need Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Relevant experience working with young people, clear communication and the confidence to manage a classroom are what matter.
📚 What does a Cover Supervisor do?
You'll supervise classes during a teacher's absence, helping pupils stay focused and complete work prepared by the school. You won't normally be expected to plan lessons or mark work as a teacher.
Your responsibilities may include:
- Explaining tasks and checking pupils understand instructions
- Maintaining a calm, productive classroom
- Managing behaviour in line with the school's policy
- Encouraging participation and keeping pupils on task
- Taking registers and following school procedures
- Collecting completed work and giving feedback to teaching staff
- Reporting safeguarding or welfare concerns promptly
You may cover different subjects across KS3 and KS4, with sixth-form opportunities depending on the school. You don't need to be a specialist in every subject.
🙋 Who should apply?
We welcome applications from:
- Experienced Cover Supervisors and classroom support staff
- Teaching Assistants, LSAs and HLTAs looking to progress
- Graduates considering teacher training
- Sports coaches, youth workers, tutors and mentors
- Applicants with experience supervising groups of young people
A degree or education qualification can be useful but isn't essential for every vacancy. We'll discuss your experience and match you to suitable roles.
✅ What we're looking for
- Confidence giving clear instructions to a group
- A calm, consistent approach to behaviour
- Reliability, adaptability and good organisation
- Respectful relationships with pupils and staff
- A commitment to safeguarding and supporting learning
