Are you confident, reliable, and great at working with young people? We are looking for an enthusiastic Unqualified Cover Supervisor to join our team in Trowbridge. Whether you're a recent graduate, former teaching assistant, sports coach, youth worker-or simply someone with the right presence and passion-this could be the perfect step into education.

In this role, you'll step into classrooms across Key Stages 3 and 4 when teachers are absent. Your job will be to keep lessons running smoothly using prepared materials and ensure students remain focused and engaged.


  • Supervising pre-set lessons across a range of secondary school subjects

  • Managing classroom behaviour using school policies and support

  • Encouraging a positive and focused learning environment

  • Supporting students with their learning where appropriate

  • Taking initiative and adapting to different classrooms and routines

  • Logging attendance and brief feedback for teaching staff


  • A confident, professional attitude and strong classroom presence

  • Great communication skills and the ability to relate to young people

  • A calm, resilient approach to managing behaviour

  • Good time management and organisational abilities

  • Previous experience working with young people (e.g. in schools, clubs, youth work, sports) is beneficial but not essential

  • A genuine interest in education and helping students succeed


  • Flexible working - choose the days that suit you

  • Full training and ongoing support provided

  • Opportunities to gain experience and explore a future career in teaching

  • Clear guidance and behaviour policies to support your role

  • Friendly schools and supportive colleagues across the region

  • Option to move into long-term roles if desired


If you're ready to step into the classroom, gain valuable experience, and make a difference in local schools, we'd love to hear from you!
