Do you enjoy working with young people aged 11 – 18? Have you considered working in Secondary Schools as a Cover Supervisor?

We are working with a range of Secondary Schools across London who are looking for confident, professional and dedicated people to serve as Cover Supervisors and provide short‑term and daily cover for teachers.

The Role

As a Cover Supervisor you will work in secondary schools covering classes and ensuring students are engaged in tasks while teachers are absent or involved in other activities. This is a key role within secondary schools and almost every school will engage a cover supervisor to allow teachers to focus on other responsibilities.

This is a great opportunity to work on a flexible basis and gain experience within secondary schools.

Cover Supervisors are required for the full school day – 08:30 am to 03:30 pm (approx.).

Flexible work options

Most Cover Supervisors begin work on a short‑term/supply basis. This is ideal if you just want to work a few days in a local school, or want to build experience within the secondary school sector. For more experienced Cover Supervisors, full‑time contracts are available.

What do I need to be a Cover Supervisor?

You do not need any formal qualifications to be a Cover Supervisor, but we do require you to have some experience working with 11 – 18‑year‑olds.

Cover Supervisor work is suitable for:

  • Graduates who are considering becoming Secondary School teachers
  • Youth workers
  • Summer camp leaders
  • Sports coaches for 11 – 18 yrs
  • People who have experience supporting young offenders

You will need an Enhanced DBS certificate to work with children and two references covering the past two years. If you do not have a DBS certificate, we can help you apply for one from the UK Disclosure and Barring Service.

Most importantly, you need a confident, positive and professional approach to working with young people.

If you are interested in working as a Cover Supervisor in Secondary Schools, please apply now with an up‑to‑date CV and one of our team will be in touch.

We have a policy to respond to all applications within three working days. However, because of the volume of applications, we are sometimes unable to reply to individual enquiries. If we have not contacted you within this specified time, your application has not been successful on this occasion.
