The Opportunity
Are you a confident, nurturing individual looking for a flexible role in a primary school setting? We are seeking Primary Cover Supervisors to support local schools during teacher absences.
This is a vital role where you will lead classrooms for pupils aged 3-11. While no lesson planning or marking is required, you will be the lead figure in the room, delivering pre-set activities and ensuring a safe, happy, and productive learning environment is maintained.
Is this role for you?
This position is highly rewarding and serves as an excellent stepping stone for:
Aspiring Primary Teachers seeking essential "front-of-class" experience.
Graduates looking to build a career in the Early Years or Primary sectors.
Teaching Assistants ready to take on more classroom responsibility and lead groups.
Qualified Teachers (QTS) desiring a better work-life balance without the burden of planning and assessment.
Key Responsibilities
Classroom Leadership: Overseeing the whole class and ensuring behaviour remains positive and in line with school values.
Interactive Learning: Delivering pre-set lessons with energy to keep younger pupils engaged and motivated.
Small Group Support: Assisting children with their tasks, particularly in core areas like Phonics, Literacy, and Maths.
Reporting: Collecting completed work and providing a brief handover for the returning class teacher.
Safeguarding: Upholding a secure environment and strictly adhering to all child protection protocols.
Requirements
Education: Minimum of 5 GCSEs (Grades 9-4 / A*-C) including English and Maths.
Communication: Fluent written and spoken English with the ability to explain concepts clearly to children.
Experience: Previous experience working with children (e.g., nurseries, schools, or youth clubs) is highly desirable.
Compliance: An Enhanced DBS check is required (we can assist with your application if you aren't on the Update Service).
Qualities: Patience, adaptability, and a genuine passion for primary education.
Note: Degrees, Cache Level 3, or PGCEs are advantageous but not essential.
Why Choose This Role?
Working as a Primary Cover Supervisor allows you to experience the unique "magic" of different year groups-from the play-based learning of Reception to the academic challenges of Year 6. You will develop your classroom management skills while enjoying a schedule that works around your personal commitments.
