Cover Supervisor Opportunities

• £80-£120 per day
• Portsmouth
• Secondary schools
• Flexible working days
• Daily and short-term cover
• ASAP start

A Cover Supervisor steps into lessons when the regular classroom teacher is absent and supervises work that has already been prepared.

The Cover Supervisor is responsible for maintaining a productive learning environment rather than carrying out full teacher-level planning and assessment.

Responsibilities of a Cover Supervisor

The Cover Supervisor will:

• Supervise KS3 and KS4 classes.
• Introduce the work that teaching staff have already set.
• Make sure pupils understand instructions.
• Keep pupils focused and on task.
• Maintain classroom routines.
• Apply the school's behaviour policy consistently.
• Manage transitions between activities.
• Work across different secondary subjects.
• Follow safeguarding procedures.
• Report relevant information to teaching staff.

What We're Looking For in a Cover Supervisor

Previous experience as a Cover Supervisor is welcome but is not always essential.

A strong Cover Supervisor will be confident communicating with teenagers, able to establish boundaries and comfortable managing a classroom without having to teach new subject content from scratch.

Candidates progressing from Teaching Assistant work may find the Cover Supervisor position a useful next step towards greater classroom responsibility.

Graduates considering teacher training may also benefit from working as a Cover Supervisor to build practical school experience.
