Cover Supervisor (Part time)

Job description

Are you searching for a flexible, part-time secondary school role that fits around your personal commitments? Do you possess the confidence, presence, and communication skills needed to lead a secondary classroom effectively? Would you like to build a rewarding, regular relationship with a vibrant secondary academy in the Blackpool area?

If so, Randstad Education has an ideal part-time opportunity for you!

About the Role & Setting

We are currently seeking resilient, proactive Part-Time Cover Supervisors to provide flexible daily and ad-hoc cover at a well-regarded secondary academy in Blackpool.

This role is perfect if you want to work between 1 to 4 days per week on your own terms. As a Cover Supervisor, you will step into Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 classrooms to manage pre-set lessons in the absence of the regular class teacher. Because all lesson content is planned in advance, there is no planning, marking, or post-school administration required-allowing you to focus entirely on effective classroom delivery and pupil engagement.

Whether you are an experienced cover supervisor, a sports coach, a former youth worker, or a graduate building secondary experience, this role offers fantastic flexibility and valuable classroom exposure.

Key Responsibilities

Take charge of Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 classes, ensuring pre-planned lesson activities are explained and completed efficiently.

Maintain high standards of classroom discipline by applying the academy's behaviour framework consistently and encouraging positive student effort.

Circulate the room to keep pupils focused, on task, and working safely.

Leave comprehensive feedback notes for returning staff regarding lesson progress, attendance, and notable student achievements or issues.

Uphold strict safeguarding procedures and promote pupil welfare across all activities.

Skills & Personal Qualities Required

Confident in setting clear boundaries, commanding respect, and managing challenging behaviour firmly but fairly.

Able to transition smoothly between different academic departments and age groups at short notice.
