Cover Supervisor

General Cover Supervisor

Stafford, ST17

We’re looking for a confident, reliable Cover Supervisor who can walk into a classroom, take charge and keep students on track.

This is a great opportunity to join a lively and ambitious secondary school with a strong focus on academic achievement, personal development and high expectations. The school has a broad curriculum across KS3–KS5, with a large, established Sixth Form and a real emphasis on creating a calm, focused environment where students can succeed.

What you'll be doing:

* Cover lessons across KS3, KS4 and KS5, following work already set by the teacher.

* Keep students focused, engaged and behaving appropriately.

* Set clear boundaries and manage behaviour confidently - you’ll need to be comfortable taking control of a room.

* Build positive relationships with students while maintaining professional boundaries.

* Register students and communicate any issues or concerns to the relevant staff.

* Move between different subjects and year groups throughout the day, so no two days are quite the same.

* Be part of a school where being proud, respectful and kind is central to the culture.

What makes someone successful in this role?

* Excellent behaviour management - calm, consistent and confident without needing to be confrontational.

* Reliable and punctual - good timekeeping is essential.

* Comfortable working with teenagers and able to command a classroom.

* A natural authority and the confidence to deal with challenging situations.

* Adaptable - happy covering anything from Year 7 through to Sixth Form.

* Organised, professional and able to follow instructions.

* Someone who genuinely enjoys working with young people and wants them to do well.

If you’re the sort of person who can walk into a classroom, quickly earn respect and get a group of students working, this could be a very good fit.
