Cover Supervisor

Cover Supervisor - Grays

Full-Time Secondary School Long-Term Opportunity

Tradewind Recruitment are looking for a confident and engaging Cover Supervisor to join a secondary school in Grays , helping keep lessons moving, pupils focused and the school day running smoothly.

Your role is to provide the structure, confidence and consistency that allows pupils to get on with their work.

And every day will be different.

One lesson might be English. The next could be Science. Then Maths, History or PE. Different classrooms, different pupils, different challenges - but the same goal: keep learning on track.

What will your day look like?

You’ll be responsible for supervising classes when their usual teacher is unavailable, helping pupils understand the work they've been given and creating an environment where they can get on with it.

You’ll be:

• Taking responsibility for classes across different subjects and year groups
• Delivering pre-prepared lessons and ensuring pupils remain engaged
• Setting clear expectations and maintaining a calm classroom
• Managing behaviour confidently, fairly and consistently
• Supporting pupils with their work where appropriate
• Encouraging pupils to work independently and stay focused
• Liaising with teaching staff and passing on relevant feedback
• Becoming a familiar and positive presence around the school

Who are we looking for?

You don't necessarily need to be a qualified teacher.

You might be an experienced Cover Supervisor, Teaching Assistant, LSA or Learning Mentor . You could have experience working with young people outside education. Or perhaps you're considering teaching and want to experience life in a secondary school before taking your next step.

What matters is that you can:

• Walk into a classroom with confidence
• Build positive relationships with teenagers
• Give clear instructions and maintain expectations
• Stay calm when things don't go to plan
• Manage behaviour without losing your sense of humour
• Adapt quickly and think on your feet
• Bring energy, enthusiasm and professionalism to the school day

Why Tradewind?

At Tradewind, we believe great people deserve great support.

When you join us, you'll have a dedicated recruitment consultant who gets to know you, understands what you're looking for and is there to support you throughout your placement.

You'll also get:

• Excellent rates of pay
• Access to 2,500+ free CPD courses through the National College
• The REC Audited Education Gold Standard
• A wide range of long-term, permanent and daily supply opportunities
• A dedicated compliance team to make the registration process as straightforward as possible
• The backing of a company recognised as a Sunday Times Top 100 Employer

We're committed to putting our candidates and employees first and giving you the support, opportunities and development you need to enjoy your career in education.
