Love English and enjoy being in the classroom?

We’re working with a friendly, Ofsted-rated ‘Good’ secondary school in Wolverhampton that’s looking for an English Cover Supervisor to join them as soon as possible.

This is a full-time role with the potential to continue long term, perfect for someone who enjoys supporting students, keeping lessons on track, and bringing a calm, confident presence to the classroom.

• Strong communication and classroom presence

• A genuine interest in English and literacy

• The ability to keep students motivated and on track

• A calm, organised approach when leading a class

If you’ve been considering teacher training in the future, this role is also a great way to gain valuable classroom experience.
