SalaryOur partnering Secondary schools are seeking candidates to work as Cover Supervisors, successful candidates will have the opportunity to work on daily supply or in longer fixed term supply contracts.
About the role
As a Cover Supervisor you will be responsible for leading lessons of approximately 30 pupils in the absence of the class teacher. You will cover classes across the full range of secondary school subjects, but don’t worry, you are not expected to be a subject specialist in each area. The lesson will always be planned, and this will be provided in advance. It is your role as the Cover Supervisor to facilitate learning, manage classroom behaviour, record accurate registers, and provide a handover to the absent teacher. Successful Cover Supervisors are adaptable, flexible, motivated, confident and organised, they have a passion for education and supporting young people.
This role provides a great opportunity to gain experience of working within a Secondary school prior to applying to Initial Teacher Training. Although previous experience of working in a Secondary School is desirable, it is not essential.
If you are new to the role, you will be offered a comprehensive Cover Supervisor Training Programme to equip you will the skills you need.

Andrea who has recently attended the Cover Supervisor Training says "I just wanted to email you to say how valuable I found the face to face training yesterday. Having been through the recruitment process, it was really good to meet the team! I was immediately made to feel so welcome, and what a lovely group of new recruits. The Vision team were approachable and encouraging and the training was really relevant. Having been in the education sector on and off for many years, the training not only reinforced my experience and knowledge, but also developed, and shared new working practices. I particularly liked the quizzes and sharing ideas with the other recruits. I’m really looking forward to working with Vision."
