Vision for Education is recruiting sports coaches to transition into education as cover supervisors within secondary school settings.

This role is ideal for confident, organised individuals with a background in sport, coaching or youth work who are looking to gain classroom experience. As a cover supervisor, you will lead classes during the short‑term absence of the teacher, delivering pre‑set lesson plans across a range of subjects, including practical‑based lessons where appropriate.
