Cover Supervisor (Graduate Opportunity)

Job description

Location: Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria (LA14)

Position: Full-Time / Term-Time

Salary: £98.89 - £144.89 per day (Experience Dependent)

Are you a Graduate looking to gain high-level experience in a classroom environment? We are seeking a proactive Cover Supervisor to join our team in Barrow-in-Furness.

This is not a "teaching" role in the traditional sense; you will be responsible for delivering pre-planned lessons and ensuring students remain on task. This is the perfect stepping stone for anyone considering a future in PGCE or educational leadership.

• Lesson Delivery: Execute pre-planned lessons across various subjects for students in KS3 and KS4.

• Behaviour Management: Maintain a focused and productive learning environment using strong behaviour management techniques in line with school policy.

• Student Support: Assist students with their work, ensuring they understand the tasks set by the absent teacher.

• Adaptability: Move between departments fluently, managing different year groups throughout the day.

• Education: Must be a Graduate (any subject) or have significant experience in a coaching/educational setting.

• Presence: A "strong presence" in the classroom with the ability to manage group dynamics effectively.

• Reliability: You must be local to the Barrow area or have a reliable way to commute for an 8:30 AM start.

• Communication: Excellent verbal skills to deliver instructions clearly and concisely.

• No Planning, No Marking: Focus entirely on classroom delivery and student engagement.

• Career Progression: Direct experience for teacher training applications.

• Supportive Environment: Work within a school that priorities staff well-being and student discipline.
