Cover Supervisor

Location: Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire
Pay: £100 - £120 per day
Contract: Full-time, Part-time, Flexible Supply Available
Start Date: Immediate / Ongoing

Ready to take the lead in the classroom?

Some days, schools need more than cover. They need a calm, confident presence who can keep learning moving, build positive relationships with students, and create an environment where young people can thrive.

We're looking for enthusiastic Cover Supervisors to support secondary schools across Cleckheaton. Whether you're a graduate exploring a future in teaching, an experienced education professional, or someone who enjoys working with young people, this could be the perfect next step.

What you'll be doing

No two days are quite the same, and that's part of the appeal.

As a Cover Supervisor, you'll step into classrooms when teachers are absent, delivering pre-prepared lessons and ensuring students stay engaged with their learning. Your focus will be on maintaining a positive atmosphere, supporting behaviour expectations, and helping students make the most of every lesson.

You'll:

• Supervise classes across a range of subjects and year groups
• Deliver lesson materials provided by teaching staff
• Encourage participation and positive behaviour
• Support students with their learning where appropriate
• Follow school policies and safeguarding procedures
• Provide clear feedback to teachers following lessons
• Build strong relationships with students and staff

What we're looking for

You don't need to be a qualified teacher, but you do need confidence, resilience, and a genuine interest in supporting young people.

You'll be someone who:

• Enjoys working with secondary-aged students
• Can communicate clearly and professionally
• Stays calm under pressure
• Has strong classroom presence and behaviour management skills
• Is adaptable and quick to think on your feet
• Has experience working with young people, education, coaching, mentoring, youth work, or similar settings

Why this role?

Cover supervision is one of the best ways to gain real classroom experience without the planning and marking responsibilities of a teaching role. It's ideal for aspiring teachers, graduates, sports coaches, youth workers, and education professionals looking for flexibility.

You'll gain:

• Valuable experience across different schools and subjects
• Insight into classroom management and school life
• Opportunities to progress into teaching, pastoral, or support roles
• Ongoing professional development and training
• Flexible working options to suit your lifestyle
