Your New Role:
An exceptional opportunity exists for a reliable and motivated General Cover Supervisor to support a leading secondary school in Cambridge on a temporary contract, available for an immediate start.
In this pivotal role, you will assume responsibility for classes (students aged 11 to 16) when the subject teacher is absent for short periods. Your primary objective is to manage the classroom environment, ensuring students are safe and working productively on the material already prepared for them.

This position offers fantastic exposure to secondary education across various subjects.

- Maintain a high standard of student behaviour and conduct by consistently applying the school's behaviour management policy.
- Clearly communicate and explain assignments and objectives to the students to minimise disruption and maximise learning time.
- Monitor student activity, manage the classroom atmosphere, and address simple queries related to the assigned work.
- Promptly report any significant behavioural issues or student concerns to the appropriate departmental or pastoral staff.
- Ensure full compliance with all safeguarding regulations and school safety protocols.
Essential Requirements
- Mandatory: Proven confidence and competence in supervising and managing large groups of teenagers (11-16 years old).
- Mandatory: Significant experience demonstrating strong leadership and behaviour management skills, either in an educational or comparable setting (e.g., training, coaching, youth leadership).
- Preferred: A university degree or strong academic background (ideal for those exploring a teaching career).
- Highly organised, exceptionally punctual, reliable, and capable of adapting quickly to changing timetables.
- High levels of resilience and the ability to handle challenging situations calmly and professionally.
- Must hold a valid Enhanced Child DBS on the Update Service or be ready to apply immediately.
What We Offer
- A competitive daily salary package of £120 to £150, commensurate with your relevant experience.
- The chance to acquire significant, paid, and varied classroom experience within a high-standard secondary school in Cambridge.
- Consistent, full-time work ideal for securing regular income.
- A genuinely engaging role that offers diversity across subjects and year groups, building a strong CV.
- Access to our £300 Refer A Friend recruitment bonus.
