Cover Supervisor – Progression Opportunity for Experienced LSAs & HLTAs

Swindon & Wiltshire
£110 – £130 per day
Full-time & Part-time | Flexible Supply | Immediate Start

Are you an experienced LSA or HLTA who is ready to take the next step?

Do you feel confident managing groups of secondary-aged students and want to develop your classroom skills further?

Would you like to progress into Cover Supervisor work, with training and ongoing support to help you get there?

TeacherActive is looking for experienced LSAs and HLTAs across Swindon & Wilshire who are keen to upskill and progress into Cover Supervisor roles within secondary schools.

This is a great opportunity for support staff who already understand the school environment, behaviour management and how to engage young people, but are now ready to take on more responsibility in the classroom.

As a Cover Supervisor, you’ll supervise classes of students aged 11–16, deliver work already prepared by the teacher, manage classroom behaviour and ensure pupils remain engaged and productive.

You don’t need to be a qualified teacher.

A degree-level qualification would be preferred, but it is not essential. I’m far more interested in finding confident, reliable people with strong school experience and the potential to step up.

What we’re looking for:

• Experience as an LSA, HLTA, Teaching Assistant or similar school-based role
• Confidence working with secondary-aged students
• Good behaviour management and the ability to set clear expectations
• Strong communication and organisational skills
• A calm, adaptable and reliable approach
• A genuine desire to develop your skills and progress
• Degree-level qualification preferred, but not essential

We’ll help you make the step up

TeacherActive can support your progression through our Cover Supervisor training and development, helping you build the practical skills and confidence needed to manage a secondary classroom effectively.

You’ll also have access to free CPD and training through our My-Progression platform, allowing you to continue developing your classroom, behaviour management and safeguarding knowledge.

In return, you can expect:

• £110–£130 per day
• Flexible full-time and part-time opportunities
• Cover Supervisor training and development
• Free CPD and certificates through My-Progression
• A dedicated TeacherActive consultant to support your development
• PAYE pay with no hidden admin charges
• TeacherActive Referral Scheme – receive up to £100 when you refer a friend (T&Cs apply)

If you’re an experienced LSA or HLTA who feels ready for more responsibility, I’d love to speak to you.

Click APPLY NOW and let’s have a conversation about taking the next step into Cover Supervisor work.
