Cover Supervisor

Protocol Education is working closely with secondary schools across Telford who are looking for confident, adaptable Cover Supervisors to step in when teachers are away and keep things running smoothly.

This is a hands-on role in the classroom, ideal if you’re thinking about teaching, returning to education, or simply want to build solid school experience without taking on full teaching responsibilities.

What the role looks like

As a Cover Supervisor, you’ll take the lead in lessons using pre-set materials. The planning is already done, so you can focus on creating a calm, consistent environment where students stay on track.

Your day to day

• Supervising lessons across KS3 and KS4

• Following the school’s behaviour policy to keep things positive and focused

• Delivering set work clearly and keeping lessons moving at a steady pace

What we’re looking for

• Right to work in the UK, passport or BRP with share code

• Overseas Police Check if you’ve lived abroad

• Experience working with young people, this could be in schools, coaching, tutoring, youth work, or similar

• Confident communication and a steady presence in the classroom

• A calm, professional approach, even on the busier days

Nice to have, not essential

• Training or qualifications in education, childcare, or youth work

What you’ll get with Protocol Education

• Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella companies

• Free access to our CPD Academy

• Support from a local consultant who knows the schools and what works

• Opportunities across a range of secondary schools in Telford

• Clear routes into long-term roles and career progression

All the lesson plans and resources are ready for you, so you can focus on building experience and supporting pupils. You’ll just need reliable transport to travel between schools in Telford.
