Want to work in schools without the full teacher workload? Cover supervising might be your perfect match.
We're looking for confident, adaptable people to step into secondary classrooms across Wolverhampton and keep learning on track when teachers are away. No planning, no marking—just lead the class, follow the lesson plan, and keep things ticking over.

It’s a brilliant option if you’re:

  • A recent graduate thinking about teaching

  • An ex-teacher wanting to stay in education (minus the stress)

  • Just someone who loves working with young people and fancies flexible, meaningful work

The best part? You choose when you work.
One day, three days, every week—it’s up to you. We’ll match you with schools that fit your style and availability.

The role at a glance:

  • Deliver pre-set lessons to secondary pupils

  • Keep classrooms calm, focused, and on track

  • Support learning without the pressure of planning or marking

  • Build great relationships with staff and students

What you’ll need:

  • Some experience working with young people (youth work, tutoring, schools—paid or voluntary)

  • Confidence in managing a classroom

  • A flexible attitude and good sense of humour (essential kit!)

What you’ll get from us:

  • Weekly PAYE pay – no umbrella company hassle

  • Fast bookings, close to home

  • Free training and behaviour management tips

  • Friendly, local consultants who know their schools

Want to stand out even more? Ask us about our FREE Thrive training. It’s brilliant for supporting student wellbeing—and schools love it.
