Do you have the presence and communication skills to lead a classroom and keep students engaged with their learning ? Perhaps you want more responsibility than a traditional Teaching Assistant position while receiving support from experienced teachers?
KPI Education is working with successful secondary schools across London looking to appoint confident and academically strong Cover Supervisors from September 2026.
As a Cover Supervisor, you will take responsibility for classes when the usual classroom teacher is unavailable.
Lessons and resources will already be prepared, meaning your responsibility is to deliver instructions, manage the classroom and ensure students remain focused and productive .
This is an excellent opportunity to experience the realities of teaching without immediately committing to formal teacher training.
Your responsibilities will include:
We are particularly interested in hearing from graduates who are considering teaching or another career within education.
You could have a degree in:
Previous School Experience Is Beneficial But Not Essential.
More importantly, you should be confident, resilient and comfortable speaking in front of groups. You'll need a strong personality, professional approach and the ability to establish expectations with students from the moment you enter the classroom.
For graduates who are unsure whether teacher training is the right next step, a year as a Cover Supervisor can provide invaluable experience.
You’ll develop practical skills in behaviour management, lesson delivery, communication and classroom leadership , giving you a major advantage if you progress into teacher training.
Strong performers could have the opportunity to progress into an Unqualified Teacher or salaried teacher-training position for September 2027 .
