Running the room, keeping it calm, making it count.
If that sounds like your kind of day we’d love to hear from you.
We’re working with forward-thinking secondary schools across North Bristol looking for confident, capable Cover Supervisors to step in when teachers are away. You don’t need to plan or mark, just lead the lesson, keep things on track, and be the go-to grown-up when it matters most.
What you’ll be doing:
-
Delivering pre-set lessons across a range of subjects
-
Managing classroom behaviour and encouraging engagement
-
Providing feedback to teachers after cover lessons
-
Acting as a positive, steady presence across the school day
What we’re looking for:
-
Experience working with young people in a school, youth work, or coaching setting
-
Strong classroom presence and confidence leading groups
-
Flexibility to cover different subjects and year groups
-
Calm, clear communication—and a sense of humour helps too!
