We are looking for Cover Supervisors to work in schools in Brentwood and surrounding areas.
All lesson materials are prepared in advance by teaching staff, allowing you to focus entirely on delivering the instructions clearly, supporting students with their tasks, and maintaining a positive, well-managed classroom environment.
What Your Day Looks Like
- Start Strong: Greet the class, take the register, and introduce the pre-set work clearly so every student understands the task.
- Keep the Room on Track: Circulate the classroom, keep students focused, and answer general questions about the work.
- Uphold Behaviour Standards: Manage low-level disruption firmly and fairly, following the school's behaviour policy.
- Wrap Up Properly: Collect any completed work, leave the room tidy, and write a brief handover note for the returning teacher.
What You Must Have
- Direct Experience: A proven background as a Cover Supervisor, Teaching Assistant, Youth Worker, Sports Coach, or similar role leading groups of teenagers.
- On-the-Day Availability (from 7:00 AM): Because schools often request cover at short notice, you must be contactable and ready to accept same-day bookings from 7:00 AM on the days you mark yourself available.
- Strong Classroom Presence: The ability to command respect through clarity, consistency, and a calm approach.
- Adaptability: The confidence to step into different schools and subject areas-whether it's English, Geography, or Maths-and settle in quickly.
Benefits & How Our App Works
- £100 - £120/Day via PAYE: Weekly pay straight into your account with zero umbrella company fees, plus accrued holiday pay.
- Everything Managed in Our App: Use our mobile app to update your availability, receive instant alerts when schools need cover, accept shifts with one tap, view school details, and access your payslips.
- Genuine Flexibility: Work one day a week or five-you choose when you are available.
- One Point of Contact: A dedicated consultant who knows the Essex schools well and matches you with settings that suit you.
- Free Online Training: Access to safeguarding and classroom management refreshers whenever you need them.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. Every candidate goes through full vetting, including reference checks and an Enhanced DBS check.
