Cover Supervisor

GAC Education is looking for confident and resilient Cover Supervisors to work within SEMH and specialist education settings across Wakefield. GAC Education is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. Supervise classes when the regular teacher is absent. Deliver pre-planned work and provide a calm, structured and positive learning environment. Supervise lessons and deliver work set by teaching staff.

Support pupils with SEMH and additional needs. Manage classroom behaviour positively and consistently. Encourage pupils to engage and remain focused on learning. Work alongside Teaching Assistants, teachers and pastoral staff. Provide clear routines and a calm, reliable presence in the classroom. You may already have experience in schools, alternative provision, SEND, youth work, behaviour support, sports coaching or residential care.

You will need to be calm under pressure, confident leading a room and committed to helping young people re-engage with education. Pupils may require additional support with engagement, behaviour and emotional regulation. Building trusted relationships while maintaining clear and consistent boundaries will therefore be central to the role.
