Cover Supervisor

Cover Supervisor – Burnham

September start

Location: Burnham, Buckinghamshire
Contract: Full-time
Salary: £100-£165 daily rate

Are you confident, adaptable, and passionate about working with young people? Do you enjoy variety and stepping into a fast‑paced school environment? We are working with a supportive and well‑run secondary school in Burnham seeking a reliable Cover Supervisor to join their team on a full-time basis.

This is an excellent opportunity for graduates, aspiring teachers, or experienced school support staff looking to gain valuable classroom experience.

The Role

As a Cover Supervisor, you will play a key role in maintaining continuity of learning during teacher absences. You’ll supervise classes using pre-set lesson plans, ensuring pupils remain engaged, focused, and supported throughout the school day.

You will:

• Supervise lessons across a range of subjects using prepared resources
• Manage classroom behaviour in line with school policies
• Create a positive, calm, and respectful learning environment
• Support pupils with tasks and ensure work is completed
• Build quick, professional relationships with students and staff

Who We’re Looking For

You’ll be confident leading a classroom and able to adapt quickly to different situations.

• Experience working with children or young people (schools, tutoring, youth work, coaching, etc.)
• Strong communication and behaviour management skills
• Calm, confident, and professional presence
• Reliable, flexible, and organised
• A genuine interest in education and pupil development

No QTS required — full guidance and support provided.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Full-time stability in a welcoming school
• Ideal experience for aspiring teachers
• No lesson planning or marking required
• Competitive daily pay
• Ongoing support from a dedicated consultant
