About the Role:

As a Cover Supervisor, you'll play a pivotal role in maintaining continuity of education during teacher absences. While no two days are the same, your primary responsibilities will include:

-          Supervising and engaging students in KS3 and KS4 across a range of subjects, including English.

-          Managing classroom behaviour and ensuring a positive, focused learning environment.

-          Delivering pre-set work and supporting students in their completion of tasks.

-          Acting as a positive role model, inspiring a love for learning and ensuring pupils achieve their potential.

About you:

We are seeking a motivated individual with a degree in English (or a related subject) who has a genuine passion for education. The ideal candidate will have strong communication and interpersonal skills, capable of engaging students from diverse abilities and backgrounds. You should possess a confident, professional manner and be able to manage classroom behaviour effectively, ensuring a positive learning environment. A flexible and adaptable attitude is essential, as you'll be managing a variety of classes and subjects. While previous experience working with young people is beneficial, it is not essential—enthusiasm and a willingness to learn are key.
