Cover Supervisor - Durham Secondary Schools | Youth Worker Experience Ideal

Daily supply or long term supply, competitive daily rates (PAYE), Cover Supervisor Training Programme provided.

Do you have experience working with young people and are looking for a rewarding role within secondary schools? Have you worked as a youth worker, support worker, mentor, or community worker and want to transfer those skills into education?

Teaching Personnel is working in partnership with supportive secondary schools to recruit Cover Supervisors who can confidently engage, motivate, and support students across KS3 and KS4. This role is ideal for individuals with strong behaviour management, relationship building skills, and a genuine passion for supporting young people.

The Schools:

You'll work in welcoming and inclusive Durham secondary schools that place a strong emphasis on pastoral care, behaviour support, and safeguarding. Schools offer clear behaviour and safeguarding systems, supportive senior leadership and pastoral teams, pre planned lessons and structured routines, a calm and respectful learning environment, and strong support for Cover Supervisors and new staff.

What you'll be doing:

• Supervising classes of around 30 students in the absence of the class teacher
• Delivering pre prepared lesson plans across a range of secondary subjects
• Using your youth work skills to engage students and manage behaviour positively
• Providing clear feedback and handover notes for teaching staff

You're not expected to be a subject specialist. Your strength will be your ability to manage behaviour, communicate clearly, and support learning.

Requirements:

• Experience working with young people (youth work, mentoring, support work, sports coaching, community roles, etc.)
• Confidence leading and managing groups of young people
• Strong communication and relationship building skills
• Positive, calm, and consistent approach
• Eligibility to work in the UK and a DBS (or willingness to apply)

A degree is beneficial but not essential if you have strong relevant experience.

What we offer:

• Competitive daily rates, paid weekly via PAYE
