Academics, a leading education recruitment agency based in Stoke-on-Trent, is working in partnership with a supportive secondary school in North Staffordshire to recruit a full-time Cover Supervisor for an immediate start.

This is a fantastic temp-to-perm opportunity. The successful candidate will initially work on a temporary basis, with the view of securing a permanent position within the school for the right fit.

  • Managing classroom behaviour confidently and effectively.
  • Keeping students engaged, focused and on task throughout lessons.
  • Supporting students with their learning where appropriate.
  • Providing feedback and a brief handover to teaching staff at the end of each lesson.

We'd love to hear from you if you:

  • Have a confident, professional and positive classroom presence.
  • Can manage behaviour effectively and build positive relationships with young people.
  • Have at least two months' UK-based experience working with young people (e.g., schools, tutoring, coaching, youth work, mentoring etc)
  • Are reliable, adaptable and comfortable working across different subjects and year groups.
  • Have strong communication and organisational skills.
  • Are passionate about supporting young people's education and development.

  • Competitive daily pay of £95-£110 (depending on experience)
  • A potential pathway into a permanent position through this temp-to-perm opportunity.
  • Access to a wide network of secondary schools across Staffordshire and Cheshire.
  • Opportunities to gain valuable classroom experience before progressing into teacher training (PGCE, SCITT and other routes).
  • Easy-to-use online timesheets and dedicated consultant support.
