Cover Supervisor

Cover Supervisor – Flexible Work in Secondary Schools

Days: Flexible, 3-5 days per week
Start Date: ASAP

Are you looking to gain invaluable classroom experience in secondary schools across Basingstoke? Whether you're an aspiring teacher, a recent graduate, or someone seeking flexible work in education, this Cover Supervisor role could be the perfect opportunity for you.

The Role of a Cover Supervisor:

As a Cover Supervisor, you’ll play a vital role in the classroom, ensuring students remain engaged and focused on the absence of their regular teacher. You will:

• Deliver pre-planned work set by the class teacher.
• Supervise the classroom, ensuring students complete their tasks.
• Manage classroom behaviour and ensure a positive learning environment.
• Provide feedback to teaching staff on pupil progress.

There is no requirement for planning or marking — your role is to ensure lessons run smoothly and students stay on task. This role is ideal for individuals looking to gain first-hand classroom experience before progressing into teaching or a long-term school-based role.

Who is This Role Perfect For?

• Aspiring teachers looking to gain experience before undertaking formal teacher training.
• Graduates from Education, Psychology, Health & Social Care, or any relevant subject area.
• University students looking for flexible part-time work.
• Individuals with transferable skills, such as youth work, coaching, or working in care settings.

Schools will do their best to accommodate subject specialists, so if you have a strong background in a particular subject (e.g., Science, Maths, PE, or English), you may be able to deliver cover in your chosen field. However, flexibility across subjects is appreciated.

Additionally, this role can often lead to long-term or permanent opportunities, allowing you to build relationships with schools and secure consistent work.
