Job Title: Sports Graduates – Classroom Supervisors

Location: Wakefield
Salary: £85–£100 per day
Contract: Flexible, Full-time or Part-time
Start Date: Immediate


Ready to swap the pitch for the classroom?

If you’re a sports graduate who thrives on energy, teamwork, and keeping people motivated, we’ve got the perfect role for you. Schools across Wakefield are looking for confident and enthusiastic classroom supervisors to step in and keep learning on track when teachers are away.

This is your chance to use your sports background—leadership, resilience, and a cool head under pressure—in a whole new way. Think of it as team captain vibes, just with a whiteboard instead of a whistle.


What you’ll be doing:

  • Supervising whole classes, keeping lessons running smoothly

  • Supporting pupils with their learning and behaviour

  • Building positive relationships with students and staff

  • Bringing your energy, organisation, and sports mindset into the classroom


What we’re looking for:

  • A degree in Sports (or related subject)

  • Confidence in leading groups (on or off the pitch!)

  • Strong communication and behaviour management skills

  • A genuine interest in education and supporting young people

(No teaching qualification needed—just your enthusiasm, leadership, and adaptability.)
