We’re on the lookout for confident, adaptable Cover Supervisors to support secondary schools across Telford.
If you enjoy working with young people or you’re thinking about teacher training and want real classroom experience first, this flexible role could be a great fit.
As a Cover Supervisor, you’ll step in when teachers are away and help keep lessons flowing. Everything’s planned for you, so you can focus on the important bits: staying calm, keeping pupils engaged, and bringing a friendly, confident presence into the room.
You’ll be doing things like:
• Supervising lessons across Key Stages 3 and 4
• Keeping behaviour steady and positive, in line with school policies
• Supporting pupils, including those with additional needs
• Using pre-set work to keep learning on track
What we’re looking for
• Right to work in the UK (passport or BRP plus share code)
• An Overseas Police Check if you’ve lived abroad
• Experience with young people, whether in schools, coaching, youth work, mentoring or similar
• Clear communication, confidence, and a calm approach
• Someone who can think on their feet and stay professional under pressure
Nice to have, not essential
• Training or qualifications in education or child development
What you’ll get with Protocol Education
• Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella faff
• Free access to our CPD Academy to build your skills
• A local consultant who knows Telford’s schools inside out
• A mix of roles across secondary settings
• Clear routes into long-term roles and teacher training
Reliable travel around Telford is important, as you’ll be visiting different schools.
If you’re ready for a role that’s flexible, rewarding, and gives you genuine classroom experience, this could be just the thing.
