We’re supporting a welcoming and forward-looking secondary school in Telford that’s on the lookout for a Cover Supervisor to step in and keep lessons running smoothly when teachers are away.
If you enjoy working with young people and want to experience the buzz of the classroom without lesson planning, this could be the role for you.
What the role involves
-
Delivering pre-prepared lessons across a range of subjects
-
Keeping students engaged, focused, and on task
-
Managing classroom behaviour with calm consistency

Experience working with young people (in or out of school)
-
Confidence in leading a group and setting clear boundaries
-
Strong communication skills and a friendly, professional manner
-
Organised, adaptable, and quick-thinking
-
A genuine interest in helping students succeed
This role could be perfect if you’ve worked as a youth worker, coach, or TA—or if you’re considering teaching and want hands-on classroom experience first.
