Teachers UK & Provide Education are looking to recruit confident, reliable and professional Cover Supervisors to support secondary schools across the East Midlands. Whether you’re looking for flexible day-to-day work or a longer-term placement, we’d love to hear from you.

As part of the Operam Education Group, Teachers UK and Provide Education have been supporting schools and education professionals for many years. We pride ourselves on building strong relationships with local schools and matching talented candidates with rewarding opportunities that suit their skills, experience and availability. Our dedicated consultants provide ongoing support, weekly pay and access to a wide range of vacancies across the education sector.

The Role as a Cover Supervisor, you will be responsible for supervising pre-planned lessons in the absence of the classroom teacher. You will ensure students remain engaged with the work provided, maintain a positive learning environment and follow the school’s behaviour policies. This is an excellent opportunity for experienced Cover Supervisors, graduates considering a career in teaching, or individuals with experience working with young people.

  • Deliver pre-set lesson plans across a variety of subjects.
  • Manage classroom behaviour effectively.
  • Ensure pupils remain focused and engaged throughout lessons.
  • Provide feedback to teaching staff following each lesson.
  • Promote a safe, inclusive and positive learning environment.
  • Follow school safeguarding and behaviour policies at all times.

RequirementsTo be considered for this role, you should have:

  • Experience working with children or young people (school-based experience is desirable but not essential).
  • Excellent classroom management and communication skills.
  • Confidence supervising classes independently.
  • A flexible and adaptable approach to work.
  • A passion for supporting students in their education.
  • An enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one.
  • The right to work in the UK.

What We Offer:
