We currently have an exciting opportunity for a Cover Supervisor to join our fantastic team at Chorlton High School.
Are you passionate about supporting young people to succeed? Do you thrive in a fast‑paced school environment where no two days are the same.
We are seeking a confident, organised and enthusiastic Cover Supervisor to join our dedicated team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys working with students, supporting learning across the curriculum, and contributing to a positive school culture.
This is a permanent, full‑time post working 35 hours per week, term time only plus 1 week. The starting salary is £24,998 and the full time equivalent is £29,064 Grade 5. To start on 1st September 2026.
About the Role
As a Cover Supervisor, you will supervise whole classes during the short‑term absence of teaching staff, ensuring students remain engaged in learning and classroom expectations are maintained.

- Supporting teaching and learning across departments
- Providing feedback on student progress and engagement
